December and January was quite busy month with birthdays and house parties in Prague so instead of doing that for my birthday I decided to organize a trip out of town for my Prague friends. With the help of Helge and Pavel I found a small pension in Spinderuv Mlyn, the most popular destination for skiing and snowboarding in Czech Republic. We ended up being 14 people (from 10 countries). Here is part of the first group who took the bus ready to leave Prague.
The first day the weather was not the best but it snowed as well so we had pretty good slopes to work with.
About half the group went skiing and all of those had done it before. The other half went snowboarding with most of them being first-timers. This of course made the snowboarders drop on a regular basis for the enjoyment of the rest of us. Heres Grace after a less than graceful fall.
On the cool-scale Bjorn the German took the price skiing in his lederhosen with a regular coat. He was laid back as he went down the mountain and never hit the deck.
The nightlife in Spinderuv Mlyn turned out to be a lot of fun as well where we danced till we were completely done.
I dont really know what Mickey Mouse and Krteek was doing at the club but at that point we thought it was fun.
Here is a picture as we were ready to leave on Sunday with everybodys limps still intact, happy but bruised.

Enjoying the other s misfortunes on the slopes? THis makes me slightly happy for not making it!
aww – we were laughing with the people falling
I m sure they had fun and so did we.
What a nice trip. I haven t skied for years.
Yeah, I was providing most of the live entertainment on the slopes, what with dropping my snowboard and falling continuously when I was learning how to snowboard. But no pain no gain!
Thank you Michael for inviting us all to celebrate your birthday this way. I really enjoyed my time in Spindler Mlyn.
Glad you enjoyed it Grace and I hope we weren t too harsh on you.

Spildelruv Mlyn is the only place I ve been skiing, despite of the fact where I live
Does Audi Bar still exist? At our dormetry in Aalborg we had a tradition of lending a souvenir from that place. I also remember a lot of good restaurants.
Haha Mikkel, pretty good for an (almost) Norwegian to ski in Czech. We didn t come across Audi Bar but we found plenty of good restaurants even tho the prices are a bit higher than they are in Prague.
[…] Da en time med en skilærer i Tjekkiet koster det halve af en østrigsk, har vi hørt om mange som benytter det som anledning til at få erfaring pisterne på snowboard. Der er i alt 26 kilometer pister og 15 stolelifte i Spindleruv. I mellem de to hovedområder kører en gratis bus de 3 kilometer. Læs om en weekend i Spindleruv Mlyn, vi hjalp med (eng) >> […]
