Just like Kugy has been looking at Jalovec from below Kukla for years, I too have gazed up under Pelce every spring, admiring the snowfields beneath them and dreaming of how nice it would be to ski them. Today I finally set off. Zvonko gives me some more tips on the route in Trenta, I greet Simon who arrives over Vršič just then and goes to see how Pogačnikov dom fared over winter. In Zapodnu I find a nice new cabin, right behind it forest, and if nothing before, after a few meters a nice path appears leading me to a small promontory and onwards into a wide gully down which a long snow slab has spilled. I walk along the right edge, then go left and straight up the slab as Zvonko advised me this morning. Higher under the Konj wall I find a nice passage right, then left along the indistinct gully up through beech forest, soon reaching extensive snowfields. Here skis go from the backpack of course, I equip them with skins and ski crampons and a nice ascent begins on broad gently sloping snowfields with even nicer views all the way to the Shelter under Špiček. A short break follows, inspection of the shelter, message to Nada that all is well with her "hut" and onwards into the basin under Mali Ozebnik. I persist on skis a while longer, but since part of the snowfields under the Notch is in shade and frozen accordingly I go on foot instead. From the Notch a nice view opens down to Bala and all the way to Bavšica. I go a bit higher where I sit in pleasant sunshine. All familiar mountains visited dozens of times surround me, below vast untouched snow expanses. I ski down, wonderful, some hard snow in between but tens of meters further pure joy again. I ski down to the basin, chamois watch me condescendingly from below the summit of Zelenice. I climb on foot up above Špiček, chamois move towards Mali Ozebnik. I fit skis and zigzag to the valley. It's 11:15 and I couldn't have better snow. I pick the nicest terrain and so all down to that indistinct gully where skis go back on the backpack. Descent not boring at all, constantly looking at Prisojnik and Razor, lower admiring auricula flowers and suddenly, in 45 minutes at the start. Trenta solitary, romantic, beautiful, ski unforgettable.
