Mountains are love. After a two-year pause, this was the perfect comeback: great organization, good company, and tons of pure white fluffy snow. It turned out very warm and festive, especially since the trek dates were December 22-25, 2018. What I especially liked: - centralized organization of poles, gaiters, and crampons; - a comfortable pace for every member of the group; - excellent management of all participants and any situation by the guide and assistant guide; - a perfect balance of fun adventurousness and common sense, humor and seriousness. What I remember most: - the snow trenches under Petros, created by the combined efforts of active enthusiasts from our group and several others. It was wonderful! Thanks to all the participants for making the impossible possible (-: "Madness turns into a mission or vision when it's shared by several participants, watched with curiosity by several spectators, and together they all give meaning to what's happening" (c) someone wise. Special thanks to our guides - Oleg Sava and Zhenya Hrytsko. You rock! 💜
