re: Pamps

Firstly - it has NEVER been cheaper to buy a lift pass in resort than through your travel agents. They buy in bulk and therefore get them at reduced prices.

There are several new slopes since your last visit that has really opened up the resort substantially.

A new 6 man lift now brings skiers and boarders back up from the biggest new run down to Stokite and a new 6 man lifdt is planned, but as far as I know is yet to be installed to replace the old main 4 man lift.

The 4 man lift will then replace the horrible long drag lift that used to take people back up to the top from the 'walkie bit'.

Lots of new hotel many of which are on the slopes.
Orlovets is brilliant - one of the best in resort.
Scanner lift pass checkers so no need to take them out of your pocket now.

Apart from that - nothings changed Wink

Cool

re: Pamps

Orlovetz is a lovely hotel, I can second that. There are a few more ATM machines now and a few more places take credit cards but they are still not accepted in many places too. You'll notice lots of new buildings and a few half finished ones too where the developers have gone under.
