Brezovica, Yugoslavia

Silvia Likavec

Brezovica is a magical and wild skiing place on Sara mountin in Kosovo. It lies between 1700 and 2500 meters of altitude.

It has wonderful (fortunately not very cultivated) ski slopes which can sometimes give you a real headache getting down (like "Lavlja vrata" with ice). Especially if the mountain gods decide to show you that the weather can be really bad, not seeing even the tips of your skis and snow pinching your face. But then, getting down Orlovo gnezdo with glittering sunshine is an unforgetable experience (this is the steepest place I ever got down, it is probably more than official 38%).
Try to see the top of the mountains hidden in the clouds on the photo.

This is the place where the same friends meet without making any arrangements, so even if you twist your knee while doing-it-yourself on snowboard, you can have fun at "Mont ski" drinking good cooked wine.

Unfortunatelly, it is still accessible only with UN forces around. Hopefully, not for long. I really miss it. Daniela, Masa (on the photo) and others probably feel the same.
