Nearest ski areas from vt?

Hi

Can anyone tell me what would be the nearest ski slopes from vt

Hi Moosty

Nearest ski slopes are at Uzana, 20 kms SW of Gabrovo.
Not at all comercialised, and apparently, very cheap !! I,ve been told there is a black run. Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Hi !
We've just been in VT for a week and went to Uzana for a day. We had a fab day! The weather was wonderful and the snow was great! We did the longest run there (I think it's nearly 2km) - thank goodness we ski as it is not for beginners - it is quite steep. I know it's only a tiny resort, but it's better than nothing and wonderful to be out in the fresh air and surrounded by stunning scenery. After 3 hours skiing, we had lunch of soup and Mousaka. A lovely day had by all.

Nearest to Vt?? Your back garden..

No try uzana - have been here 5 years and having enjoyed skiing in Europe have been meaning to go there with Bg friends. Supposed to be ok and as you can see they have children's runs ----- as used by Mods.. Ok well maybe not..

Ah, Uzana, the ski resort that isn't a resort - or is it? Those who have been around a while will remember the great Uzana debate - http://www.mybulgaria.info/modules.php? ... na&start=0

Walkage, I'm not sure of the lifespan of a mod once it has hatched, but if it is longer than 5 years and they have a memory of the above thread, there is no way they would be seen in a resort (that may not be a resort) unless they were in training for the Bulgarian Biathlon championships. Mods do have some pride, you know.

I've been to Uzana and I wouldn't class it as "a ski resort" altho the OP only asked for a ski run, Uzana would fit this perfectly as its just down the road.

I'm not a skier , but some skiers seek out virgin snow , and aren't bothered by the lack of facilities . Years ago I went climbing in the Atlas mountains ,and the place was full of skiers that climbed up with snow shoes to the highest point they could get , and skied back down to the hut . Who needs resorts and chairlifts ? If you're a real skier you don't need them , go it alone . Tim .
