Bardhosh
Morina
Your local guide for The Accursed Cat-Ski Expedition and The Accursed Powder Traverse. Bardhosh grew up in the Deçan valley, founded Freeride Kosovo in 2022, runs the snowcat that opens the Accursed Mountains every morning and serves as a mountain rescuer with the Kosovo Mountain Search and Rescue Service.
The Snowbusters crew
The man with
the snowcat
Bardhosh grew up in the Deçan valley, looking up at mountains that had no lifts and no road in winter. In 2022 he solved that problem the direct way: he set up Freeride Kosovo and put a snowcat on it.
He runs the snowcat side of the operation, a Pisten Bully 300 with a cabin built in-house, and guides through the whole season. One machine, one group at a time, and the terrain picked each morning on the snowpack and the wind.
Skier, paraglider pilot and all-round adventurer, Bardhosh is also a mountain rescuer with the Kosovo Mountain Search and Rescue Service, and he skis this terrain outside the season too. On The Accursed Cat-Ski Expedition he is the reason the road is open, the cat is warm and the first line of the day is exactly where it should be.
