Jozef Palčák wins Poľana skimountaineering race

The jubilee 10th edition of Poľana skimountaineering race, Jozef Zaťko Memorial was a race sponsored by mayor of the town Detva. It was organized on February 9 this year. Our new member, Jozef Palčák, took part in the race for the 3rd time.

Jozef was a member of our team in the past, but due to his recovery from a serious injury, he had to take last year's season off. He is now getting ready for his comeback this year. Some 50 skiers took part in the race. Jozef was not only a racer, but also a member of the organizing committee, he helped to prepare the race course which could be extended from hotel Poľana (altitude of 1.306m) down to Kalamárka (altitude of 809m) due to favorable weather conditions this year. There is more than 1,5m of snow in Poľana area and so the conditions for a ski race were more than perfect, creating the right winter atmosphere. Two small up-hill sections awaited for the competitors with a rather technical downhill part. Another climb over 500m in altitude followed before reaching the finish line.


„It was already my third start in this race, but I never managed to win here. I am really happy I finally beat the four-time winner Peter Halaj. I know he has a much lighter ski mountaineering boots and skis which is a great help in the long climbs. He also is very experienced in the mountains. I followed him closely from the very beginning, but lacked the right technique in the flat areas where he prevailed. I always got back to him in the up-hill sections and in the last climb I took advantage of the familiarity with the course, attacked and succeeded in keeping a small time gap until the finish. I am very happy to have my name engraved in the Challenge Cup.“
