It
was a pleasure for Scorpio to organise a combined programme for 20 Boy
Scouts from Italy who came to visit BIH and wanted to enjoy the nature

joint ascent on Zelena Glava, Prenj mountain and in the Rakitnica river.
Borašnica (1890 mt) is one of the
peaks of Prenj, which overlooks Konjic and the Boračko Jezero. It is
also part of Edin Durmo's project.... to explore Borašnica by
paragliding, mountain bike and skitouring.
A few years ago, it was the turn of
paragliding, today, it was Mountain Bike. 15 kilometers for 1100 mts of
ascent on a very difficult terrain, with

March
2010 - Ski tour to Prenj
Sivadija or Osobac, two of the main peaks of Prenj, were the target for
today’s skitouring for Roger, Edin and Massimo, who also wanted to check
the situation for the upcoming trips. Unfortunately the weather didn’t
really help… rain and a thick fog made the group only imagine were the
peaks were.
In any case, a bit of good exercise in the nature (always better than
watching TV at home) and the reassurance that there is still a lot of
snow on Prenj for at least another month of skitouring excursions.

Finish

will be held on weekend 17/18th April in
Sport-educational centre SCORIO in Smetovi, where we'll also organize
open climbing competition.
It is
another memorable day for ski touring. Lots of news snow on Visocica
mountain created an amazing scenario, but at the same time made the
going more difficult. The sun and the wonderful panorama was there to
encourage Andrea, Timur, Faik, Roger, Edin, Massimo and Lorenzo, at his
first skitouring experience in Bosnia.
Beauty of Blidinje Park of Nature and Vran Mountain has been confirmed
again as singular experience for ski admirers of all ages and profiles.
Sun, new snow, an amazing landscape, it was a perfect day for ski
touring on Vran mountain.
It was
excellent mixed group of skiers: guest Roger Webb from USA and Andrea
Cellino from Italy, professors and Scorpio instructors Jure Miljak,
Zdenko Jonjić, Massimo Moratti, Ivan Mioč, Edin Durmo, and
youngest participant Irijan Durmo, who already became standard Scorpio
team member!
With the most significant ski tour in this
season, our youngest team member Irijan approved his rank of "Sportive
hope of Ze-Do canton". In continuation of Irijan's development as young
sportsman, we organized ski tour over Vlašić plateau. Irijan
accomplished this tour along with leading Scorpio instructors and
teachers of physical education in Catholic School Centre in
Zenica, where Irijan attends second class.
Whence snow was
falling all night, sunny day
came to slopes of Smetovi,
which irresistible attracted us. Ski tour from SCORPIO centre to peak
Brdašce was much more than pleasure...
30th
January 2010 - Ski tour to Visočica Mountain
Fog,
wind and heavy snow weren't sufficient to stop ski-tourers this week end
who finally could enjoy proper winter conditions on Visočica mountain.
It was a proper start of the ski touring season, to test the skis and
ourwill against all elements and start proper training in view of the
nexttrips. Snow conditions are finally in place, now only the sun is
missing.
5th
January 2010 - Family ski touring in Smetovi
Smetovi is always perfect area for the first ski touring
experience, therefore ten years old girls Matea and Andrea Kostić from
Zagreb (Croatia) together with their parents made first steps on special
touring skis. This youthful team was completed with our seven years old
"veteran" Irijan, so this today's ski tour is real achievement and
curiosity.

Despite adverse snow conditions in whole BiH, club
