Immaculate, skiers enjoy the groomed slope. The season has started in Olešnica
/VIDEO/ The illuminated slope shines from afar. In the Friday afternoon gloom, the slope in Olešnice in Blanensko works like a magnet. Finally, after a year, you can go skiing or snowboarding again. At three o’clock in the afternoon, the new season starts in the north of Blanenská and in fact also in the south of Moravia.
They started the ski season in Olešnica. They want to snow the rest of the slope by the holidays.

People from all over the region travel tens of kilometers to Olešnica for their first skiing experience. “It is super. My daughter Anička and I managed about ten rides. Me on skis, she on a board. Perfect, it’s enough at the beginning of the season. We’re going into the heat, we have a cottage in Olešnica,” reports one of the skiers, Martina Killerová, shortly after four in the afternoon.
There are about thirty cars in the parking lot and other skiers are gradually arriving. Five-year-old Ondřej Kubík is putting on his snowboard boots in the rental shop below the slope. He came with two friends from Adamov. “I couldn’t wait any longer. I haven’t stood on the board in a year, so I’ll probably fall a little at the beginning. But that doesn’t matter at all. Snowboarding is perfect and I wouldn’t trade it for skis. First I touch the children’s slope and then hooray for the big lift. My parents and I are going to the Alps during the holidays, so I have to train something,” says the schoolboy.

His classmate Žaneta solves this, because the snow-white warm clothes are no longer as clean on the way to the lift as they were when leaving the house. “Aye. I must have brushed against our dirty car and smeared the rustles a bit with mud. The washing machine can handle it,” laughs the snowboarder.
A children’s slope and an anchor on the main slope are in operation on Fridays. Poma is currently down. “We started making snow in a big way over the weekend and are gradually covering the rest of the slope. By the holidays, we would like to open the entire slope, including the second lift. At the moment, the weak half of the slope has been groomed and there is about sixty centimeters of snow on it,” says Jiří Kotlán, the manager of the ski area, near the lift. He adds that, compared to last year, fares in Olešnice have risen by about twelve percent.

A bunch of friends from nearby Kunštát also don’t miss their first skiing on Friday afternoon. Jakub Jež, Filip Koláček and Pavel Florus. “Great. We always start the ski season in Olešnica. It’s kind of our tradition, we have a bit of it. So far we have given twelve fifteen rides and we will add a few more. The snow is super groomed,” report young people as they pass through the turnstile.
Stanislav Kříž arrives a little behind them on a sprung ski bob. He arrived in Olešnica on Friday from Velatice in Brno. “I’ve been looking forward to it all week. I can ski and snowboard. I’m a biker at heart and skibob is such a win for me for the winter. Enjoy it far more than on skis. I put it together four or five years ago,” explains the man just before starting the next ride. On Saturday, the ski slope also opens in neighboring Hodonín.
