With a bit of delay, I finally got some time and will to write few words about start of FIS Alpine skiing World cup of 2009/10 season. As traditionally Rettenbach glacier above Soelden, Austria was first stop of the season.

Winter is back. That’s good news, but all the joy which came with start of new season in Soelden, Austria, was taken away only 2 days later with some really bad news. I just got info yesterday, that good friend, fellow photographer, and chief of photographers on Zagreb World Cup races, Renco Kosinozic, suddenly died. He was shooting guys and girls of Croatian ski team on Hintertux glacier, while he passed away….

With news like this, there’s really no point of writting much more about last weekend in Soelden… So maybe some other time more about Soelden weekend.

But for now all I can say is, rest in peace my friend. You will be missed, and Zagreb races won’t be same anymore without you being in charge of us. It was pleasure to know you, and it was always fun to have you around!
