Terms of use

Mountainski.cz is a personal site about ski mountaineering and winter mountains. Reading it needs no registration and no fee. These terms say what you may do with the content, what the discussion rules are, and what the site does not guarantee.

Copyright in texts and photos

The texts, photos, maps, GPX files and elevation profiles on the site are works of authorship by Jan Pala and the co-authors. Do not use them without the author's written permission — not on a website, not in print, not on social networks and not for training models. Sharing a link to an article is welcome. [DOPLNIT — confirm whether the CC BY-NC licence stated in the site footer applies, and to which content.]

Discussion and comment moderation

Comments are published only after the editors approve them. The editors may reject or delete a comment without giving a reason.
We will not approve comments containing insults, threats, hateful content, advertising and spam, other people's personal data, or anything unlawful.
The author of a comment is responsible for its content. The editors are not obliged to monitor comments continuously.
The name you give in a comment is published. The e-mail is optional and is never shown.
Found a comment that does not belong here, or want yours deleted? Write to us through the contact form.

Links to other sites

The site links to other pages (guidebooks, avalanche bulletins, weather, shops, videos) and embeds content from YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps and Forms, Mapy.cz and iVysílání. We are not responsible for their content, availability or how they handle your data — their own terms and policies apply there.

Mountain information is indicative

Route descriptions, times, distances, ascent, slope angles, elevation profiles and any mention of the avalanche situation are indicative. Some of the numbers are computed automatically from GPX and an elevation model, so they differ from reality; and conditions in the mountains change every day. Nothing on this site replaces the avalanche forecast, current bulletins, a map or your own decision in the field.

Travelling in winter mountains is dangerous and you do it at your own risk and responsibility. The operator and the authors are not liable for any damage, injury or other harm arising from your going to the mountains based on information from this site.

Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms; the version on the site always applies. The date of the last change is at the top.
