Downhill for Pig's head trophy (carnival time, Shrove Sunday)

In carnival time Tourist Society Golica and Pig's head section organise »Downhill for pig's head trophy« in Črni vrh. The competition has been held since 1967. A lot of skiers, who compete individually or in groups, come to Črni vrh on Shrove Sunday. Anybody with a sense of humour and socializing can participate. The only condition is that participants compete on skis and they wear a carnival costume. The winner gets a roast pig's head and a cup. A mayor is elected on that day as well. Several years ago there was also a competition for the best liar. Since 1994 children have been participating in their own category and the winner gets a sweet pig's head. Costumes, representing current affairs, are particularly welcome. The competition takes place every year, regardless of weather conditions, and it always attracts a lot of visitors.
