We had such a short period of winter, you could miss it. I mean a week of beautiful snow, slightly frosty and sunny weather. Ski conditions were excellent. Same sensed that it would not last long, and I used every day of the tours on skis closer or more distant neighbourhood. In particular, it was beautiful and charming in the coniferous forest covered with fluffy and perfectly white snow. The forest was full of visible clues of animals, especially elk herds that grazed on young pines. The most pleasant trip was January 23 to Augustow Forest , about which I wrote in previous post.
