It true that, compared to Austria or Italy, it's not expensive, however
ski resorts are not so good. For one day, or weekend skiing, Slovenia is ok,
but for something more.... I'm afraid not

If you need more information or you need more details - just ask.

Regards,

Lei

Depends on a snow conditions (what a smart answer ;-)), but usually end of
December, when most of the resorts are opening. Some of them depend on
natural snow, so sometimes season begins in January. The peak of the season
is around February, and it usually ends begging of April.

Have in mind that Slovenia is near Croatia, so there are lots of weekend
skiers and the queues tend to be really huge. Last year around Xmas we
waited almost 2 hours in a line for a cable-car !!! ((

I was at Lake Bohinj in the summer and had a look at one of the areas
there. It didn't look particularly challenging within the lift served
terrain, but I saw lots of scope for some backcountry if you knew where to
go. A local would be useful :-)

Nice place though.

This is true... ski resorts around Bohinj (Vogel, Kobla) are not so good -
very few and very old lifts, only natural snow (snow-making not allowed
since this is natural park). However, Switters is right - when conditions
are right, this is probably the most beautiful place in Slovenia for
backcountry skiing.

If someone is looking for the best ski-resort in Slovenia, I would
recommend Krvavec (near Ljubljana), Pohorje (near Maribor, night-skiing best
in Slovenia) and Cerkno (west Slovenia).

I climbed up Mt Sija from the Vogel area, and the terrain on the other
side looked really nice. A local guide told me that a lot of people climb
up there in the winter as the lifts don't go high enough.
