Two more fresh ones (10.11.2018), if of any help:
From Brane and from Turska gora.

Regards!

The best view from the Logarska or Žmavčarji direction is the last pic from Turska gora. Before entering the rocky part, you may still need to step on some snow. It's not wrong to have winter gear with you.

Good luck

Has anyone maybe been to Skuta in the last week - preferably from the bivouac under Skuta / over Žmavčarji?

I'm aware that for tomorrow they're forecasting some new snow (over 5 cm), which will affect the conditions too.

Today (16.12) I ascended Skuta from bivouac/Žmavcarjev direction.

The day started ideally - with a wonderful sunrise. Snow from bivouac almost to entrance into initial gully is relatively firm and allows fast progress. Conditions onwards were objectively quite bad - combination of unprocessed and wind-blown snow, plus on certain key sections (too) little of it or it doesn't hold as it should.

Descent through Gamsov skret, which I advise others against, mainly due to snow shortage in most demanding part - there it's just enough to cause trouble.

In the entry section, I looked for the ideal line, but unfortunately didn't find it - there was huge wind-blown snow everywhere. 5
Exit from the entry gully, within which at least one rocky jump had to be made.6
Traverse in the last part of the route, which was the most annoying due to unconsolidated snow. 7
Wonderful view to the west - Grintovec, Kočni and Triglav (together with others part of the western Julian Alps) in the background.8
Wonderful view to the east - Kranjska Rinka, Turska gora, Brana, Planjava and Ojstrica. 9

Congrats on the ascent! Skuta is on my wishlist too so I'd ask for some more detailed info on the ascent.
How long did the ascent take you? Where did you descend? Any problematic spots regarding conditions with little snow? What about that icicle hanging on the fixed rope, is it easy to pass and is it problematic to bypass? Thanks and cheers from Rijeka mežikanje

Yesterday evening headed towards Skuta from Kamniška Bistrica side, via Žmavcarji.
Turned back at 1600m height. Soft sinking snow, above 1300m windblown with crust that doesn't bear human load.
Good news also here, track "maintained" to 1600m.

Just one small note, well-intentioned.

Probably makes sense to have gloves on when using the ice axe, otherwise it would rip the skin off your knuckles when arresting, especially on steeper, frozen parts.

I clicked on pictures in the blog, but there were none and I skipped most of the text and just watched the little video.
