Skiing in Zakopane, Poland during March 2009.?
Skiing in Zakopane, Poland during March 2009.?
Hi! I am planning a trip this month for 5 days in Zakopane. I have heard it is very cheap and still pretty good skiing for beginner-intermediate skiers/snow boarders. Is this true? What is it like there, especially at this time of year? Is there anywhere else better in Eatern Europe, relative to the price? I am a student, so I just want to have a good time skiing during the days, and then have some drinks in the evenings with other fun people! Also want lots of snow, and i heard they lines for lifts are not so good...why is that? Can anyone recommend which ski runs are the best? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

It is cheap, now with the foreign exchange rates in favor of euros and dollars. But plenty of snow cannot be guaranteed...

usually, school kids in poland have their winter break in late feb. my cousins usually go skiing in bialka tatrczanska which is near zakopane but a smaller town so the skiing will be cheaper. i actually go to that area every year in the summer and occasionally in the winter to ski. they have good slopes for beginners and nice small cheap restaurants. you can rent a room from a family that has a huge house and they can even cook for you guys if you want. the lifts are like plates stuck on a pole they put the plate behind your butt and you stand with the skis on yur feet while you are pulled up the mountain. also when you find a place to stay, you can ask the people where they recommend you to go because they know the area more accurately
