Experiencing rain, snow, clear weather, sun, wind and fog on the mountain in one day in winter conditions was something I had to wait for a long time.

6th January 2023, resting after the Tatra Mountains Winter Skills Course in one of my favourite restaurants in Zakopane (Owczarnia, Gen. Andrzeja Galicy 8, 34-500 Zakopane, Poland), I was checking the weather forecast and avalanche alert, trying to decide where to go the next day.

As it turned out later, it was the best decision I could ever make.
The view cannot be described in words, so I hope my video from Czerwone Wierchy (Red Peaks) in the winter version will show how magically was there.
