The Book
After a year of hard work and editing with publishing house “Vakon” I am super excited to present you my new book “My snowboarding summits” (In Bulgarian). Inside I have gathered short stories and travelogues from my snowboarding adventures around the world including the successful expedition on Mt. Manaslu, but I also believe I have left a big part of myself in there. I will be happy to take you in my white winter universe full of dreams, challenges, high mountains, daring snowboard descents, powerful emotions and boundless freedom.
You can find short parts from different stories of the book in section “The Book”.
ABOUT PROJECT8000
A Snowboard Project
The main goal of this project is to become the first Bulgarian to snowboard/ski from one of the fourteen 8000+m. summits!
Manaslu – 8163m is the 8th highest summit of the world and is located in the Nepalese part of the Himalayas.
Shishapangma – 8027m is the 14th highest peak of the world, and is located almost due north of Kathmandu entirely on the Tibetan side of the Himalayas.
Both summits require proficient level of mountaineering skills, stamina and most of all they present a daring snowboard challenge, especially when the expedition is planned without the use of supplemental oxygen!
