The "Ecoul Malinului" (Malinâs Echo) ski contest is taking place tomorrow on the Bucegi plateau, the Malin Valley. The competition is recommended to the ones that want to try skiing at high temperatures.

SENSATION
All this setup brings a strange thing as well. It is a big one actually. The winter sport season is not over yet!
