Ski in Poland Easter March 2013

Im on the way back to London from Poland. It's been such a nice and restful time (10 days). Ive ended up with my mum in the mountains skiing. I've opened the ski seson in the spring. The ski condition was perfect, I was almost on my own on the ski trail. During 3 days we visited different ski locations such as Wisla Cienkow (red and blue)http://www.google.com/search?q=wisla+cienkow&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=xDGiUaytEcXjO63bgdgJ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=664 , Stozek (1km black) http://www.google.com/search?q=stozek&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5zGiUezKNsTfOaGegLgB&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=664#safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=stozek+ski&oq=stozek+ski&gs_l=img.3...7408.8041.0.8284.4.4.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1c.1.14.img.uiDiFGP3VKI&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47008514,d.ZWU&fp=a74d7bb99e98c702&biw=1280&bih=664 and Czantoria (2km read and 3km blue) http://www.google.com/search?q=stozek&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5zGiUezKNsTfOaGegLgB&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=664#safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=czantoria&oq=czantoria&gs_l=img.3..0j0i24l9.47008.48651.2.48965.9.6.0.2.2.0.355.761.0j1j1j1.3.0...0.0...1c.1.14.img.0yy0Kecedoo&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47008514,d.ZWU&fp=a74d7bb99e98c702&biw=1280&bih=664 . The hardest one was Stozek but the longest Czantoria. Stozek had got a very nice familiar vibre with a fabilous hostel at the top of the mountains. My mum fell in love with that place so did I. It was a traditional 90 years old hut which still belongs to the government, hasn't been yet privatised after the communism fell down, has maintained the similar style as before in moderation. It was modified just to make it more comfortable and cousy. I've been skiing with someone who I met there and it was nice to exchange the view points and ideas about the quality of live without TV and any aditional gadgets. He was an alcoholic 10 years ago and since he has got rid of the addiction, him and his wife set up the community for adficted people. They run a glass cobstruction company in Austria and help addicted people in Poland. It was nice to see someone's commitment in helping others. The next day we checked out Czantoria. The ski track was very good, the facilities avarage. I've met an ortopedic doctor who was passionate about skiing so were his grown up children. We've skied together for 1 and half hour and exchanged our live experiences while going up on the ski-lift. We had an interesting and inspiring time and we could learn a lot from each other in such a short conversation's time. I wish one day he will open a Ski resort in Szczyrk (ski location which used to be the most attended ski centre some time ago) for doctors. http://www.google.com/search?q=stozek&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5zGiUezKNsTfOaGegLgB&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=664#safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=szczyrk&oq=szczyrk&gs_l=img.3...41884.43986.4.44287.7.7.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1c.1.14.img.0x_arP0sQ8E&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47008514,d.ZWU&fp=a74d7bb99e98c702&biw=1280&bih=664 Apparently there is such a big doctors ski community with semi professionals. After our 3 days ski and yoga retreat we went with my mum to a regional restaurant 'Wrzos' in Ustron http://www.google.com/search?q=stozek&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5zGiUezKNsTfOaGegLgB&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=664#safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=wrzoz+ustron&oq=wrzoz+ustron&gs_l=img.3...44018.46869.6.47134.12.10.0.0.0.0.336.1052.0j3j1j1.5.0...0.0...1c.1.14.img.wZkK2XuUtBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47008514,d.ZWU&fp=a74d7bb99e98c702&biw=1280&bih=664. We treated ourselves with a grilled goat chees (oscypki) http://www.google.com/search?q=stozek&safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5zGiUezKNsTfOaGegLgB&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=664#safe=active&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=oscypki&oq=oscypki&gs_l=img.3..0j0i24l2.28004.29694.8.30548.7.7.0.0.0.0.205.865.0j4j1.5.0...0.0...1c.1.14.img.9fS-DEbyvKM&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47008514,d.ZWU&fp=a74d7bb99e98c702&biw=1280&bih=664, meat, mushroom and cabige dumplings and bogracz (meat stew with potatos and sort of dumplings). For desert we had got a deliscious sharlotka (apple pie) with melted chocolate, wipped cream and ice-cream. We came back to our city home in the evening. Next day after the family dinner and I took off to London.
