I visited Zakopane in the summer. It looks and feels like Keswick, a mountain tourism town. They had a cable car up the big mountain. The map had some lifts off of that one. Wasn't able to get up to it. The other side of town the hills were more rolling and I spotted some lifts. The roads run along the top of the rolling ridges and the tows ran down into the valleys.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Have been to Poland many times in the summers to visit relatives, although not had the chance to go skiing yet. Cousins say that Zakopane is the main resort - but will feel tiny if compared to European resorts. The thing to do apparently is cross-country which is very big over there when you get bored of the downhill runs!
Now that there are 2 low cost airlines (Wizz Air from Luton and Air Polonia from Stansed) I'm intending to go over more often so would be great to get a report from you when you get back.
(Checking out the airline in October - see whether it has been built out of lego!!!)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I too have been to Zakopane in summer. Took the cable car to the top and walked back down.
The town is reasonably close to Krakow which is certainly worth a visit if you have a day off.

[Admin take note!! the Snowbase is still invisible!!]
johnfmh, if you mouseover "snowBase" (bottom righthand corner of the image top left of this page), all will be revealed. Click on the first option, "Resorts", and a page listing all the countries currently included will load. Scroll down to the Slovak Republic where a total of 17 resorts has been added.
Please let me know if there are any errors, duplications etc. in the list....
