Hi,
Czech & Slovak republic split 1989 in Velvet Revolution, Slovenia was part of former Yugoslavia so not related.
I too am insterested in Skiing Cz Rep, I understand some of the best skiing is around 50km North of Prague near the German Border, also the High Tatras on the Cz/Slovac border are meant to be good. There is no very high altitude sking to be had but being further north than Bulgaria it will be colder and have good snow, I've been to Prague in January and it was under a foot of snow and -15 degrees C. I believe lifts and pistes are meant to be fairly good in some resorts. this link may help: http://www.holidayinfo.cz/main.php
Will of course need to change language to UK.
Good luck let us know how you get on.
