Esdel, sorry to hear that. I was out with a boarder (family member, Australian based) this morning who mentioned that a friend of his in Melbourne is off to Slovenia next week. Might mention the lack of snow, though she has a lot of Austrian friends she is tying up with there so probably knows already.

Esdel, look at Innerkrems or Bad Kleinkirchheim, both just over an hour away. Some mates of mine raced in Innerkrems a few days ago and said it was great. This link may be helpful too, ski resorts in Corinthia

Not far from Nassfeld - snow was superb a week ago above 1100m and looks like it's dumping again now.

Have you tried Krvavec (sp? I was in Slovenia in a very low snow year and Krvavec was the first resort to open.

The women's world cup from Kranjska Gora looked very snowy on Eurosport at the weekend  .
Three weeks on Thursday until we fly to Ljubljana for a long weekend. We land mid-morning so the plan is to try Krvavec on arrival day lynseyf. Will play it by ear after that - we are staying in Bled but will have a hire car.
Haven't been to Slovenia so really looking forward to skiing somewhere new.

Mountain addict - you are pretty close to Vogel too which is very pretty and good skiing, especially if they get the run to the bottom of the gondola open. If the weather closes in kranska Gora is good as it's quite low so tends to escape the fog etc. it also has the Podkoren World Cup black run which is a bit of a beast. krvavec is biggest resort in terms of KMs of skiing and so close to airport so good choice for day 1. It's also pretty high altitude like Vogel. That should keep you busy for a long weekend.

Cheers for the tips t4tomo - can't wait  . Have also heard that Ljubljana is worth a look. Loathe to miss any skiing, as ever - so may possibly pop there for a night out after skiing at Krvavec.

You know it makes sense.

Anybody able to report/update us on current Slovenia conditions? Four days until we set off - really looking forward to skiing somewhere new .
Going by the webcams and the weather forecast, it's looking quite promising at this stage.

Esdel Three nights' digs booked in Bled. We land at Ljubljana mid morning on Friday so plan is to ski Krvavec that day. Can't believe there's a proper ski area about 5 miles from an international airport - though maybe Innsbruck offers something similar?
After that - and depending on snow and weather - we thought we'd try Vogel and/or Kranjska Gora on Sat and Sun. We then fly home on Mon morning.
