4 man chair lift at Yastrebets

We were in Boro over Xmas & Ny and this chair lift was just open but not to the public.
There were reports that they couldn't get insurance Confused.
Can anyone who has been recentlly or is in the know let me know if this 4 man chair lift at the bottom of Yastrebets is open??

It was up and working during our stay 2nd Jan onwards.
It got a bit busy at the times that the gondala was closed due to weather

re: 4 man chair lift at Yastrebets

were people going to this lift first in the morning rather than taking the gondola?
From memory it would be quite hard to get there from the resort.
Best got to after skiing down Yastrebets

it was quiet in the morning, busier later in the day, but i had no lenghty waits apart from the Gondola, and it was later in the week once all the classes got in there. If your going on the Gondola try that early in the week, ski the others later when the classes are over there.
