Photographer’s Note
Picture taken on the way to the the ski center of Kaimaktsalan!!
The ski center begins at 2040 m.
Shelter's central building: 2040 m.
Highest peak: 2524 m.
Highest lift: 2480 m.
Ski Center altitude difference: 2030 m.-2480 m. Greatest lift altitude difference: 290 m.
Greatest slope altitude difference: 440 m.
Voras Mountain is located at the frontiers with F.Y.R.O.M. and its crest-ridge is the limit line of the two countries. It is the third highest mountain in Greece after Olympos (2917 m.) and Smolikas (2637 m.), with an altitude of 2524 m., on the peak of which stands Kaimaktsalan Ski Center.
The view from the mountain is amazing, since one can see with the naked eye as far as Thermaikos Gulf, the peak of Olympos Mountain and, of course, the 3-5 Pigadia Ski Center in Naoussa, which is across from the peak.
That wheel loader was there to clear the road from snow so cars and pedestrians could pass to the top of the ski center! .. Good job ha? ;-)
Have a great weekend!

All that snow is very impressive, Agni. Its very nice to see the snow going to the air with the work of the truck. Nice lights and very good control of whites.
Regards,
Zeca
