 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone, we are thinking of going to Jasna in Slovakia next February.
Has anyone been there and could give us a lowdown of what it is like etc etc.
We usually go to the Nordic resorts, but fancy a change this time.
Many thanks.

I went around two years ago. The resort is on the small side but has enough to keep you entertained for a week. There is a large freeride area on the back on the mountain and a large un-pisted area under the worst two-man chair I have ever been on. (Think it's been replaced now). The snow was pretty poor the week we was there but we still had good fun.
There isn't much English spoken but you can get most things brought by hand signals 
Lift pass is about £90 for the week! The most expensive beer we could find was a £1 and I paid 20p for a Vodka and Coke. Night life is strange but fun - nothing much at the mountain but the local town is only a 10 / 15 min taxi ride away.
The transfer is less than an hour IIRC - though from what I understand some of the lost cost airlines that fly there have gone belly up - so you may struggle to find a local airport if your not based in the south.

Karlos, I have been there many times, the snow is uasually really good. The winds are too high very often. If they close the lifts on the upper part, and then huge queues are formed in front of the other lifts. The lifts are getting better, this year they built a new gondola.
Jasna is on the northern side of the mountain. Theoritically, a T-bar links to the Southern site. In practice this lift is often closed due to the winds or storms.

Only drawback is relative lack of sunshine. Otherwise very good resort.

I was considering going in mid march - has anyone been there at that time? Were crowds a problem?

Draybs74, No problem with crowds at February half-term last year. mil46, Many lifts had obviously only been installed /replaced in the last two to three years.
