Skiing season has started all around Europe and North America and soon people go for skiing holidays. Where will you go? Are you going alone, or with dudes or with your family? Have you considered skiing in Europe? Figuring out the “best possible” ski resort for your needs is always some kind of a job. You need to free time from other activities to surf in websites and discussion forums, crawl various blogs (such as Homeboyski!) and discuss with other skiers. You would like to find the best ski resort for you and your family, just like every year. You are thinking “should we go (again) to St. Moritz or St. Anton? Or should we go to US?”..

You do not need to think anymore. I have a solution for you. You will be heading to Slovakia! Why on Earth? There are many good reasons to ski in Slovakia. Let me tell you few good ones. This article gives you five good reasons to go skiing in Slovakia, specifically in Jasna in High-Tatry Mountains. Reasons below are not in any kind of order. Each reason is as important as any other in this list.

Why Ski in Slovakia - Reason #1: It is Cheap to Cki in Slovakia

Slovakia is a cheap country, which naturally means cheap skiing. If you are looking for a budget ski holiday package, take a look at those Slovakia ski trips. Flights to Slovakia are cheaper, but the cheap level can especially be seen in the prices of beer and other drinks as well as skiing equipment rents. Let’s have some real examples of prices.
- full-day ski lift ticket 22 euros
- skis + boots for one day 7 euros
- half a liter beer in afterski 0.5-1 euro

Why Ski in Slovakia - Reason #2: Slovakia is Easy to Access

It is very easy to go skiing in Slovakia. There are a number of flights to Slovakia from most of the big cities in Europe and many budget airliners fly to Bratislava and other Slovakian cities. Forget flying to North America from London. Instead, fly in a couple of hours to Slovakia and go skiing in the same afternoon!

Why Ski in Slovakia - Reason #3: Slovakia Provides an Interesting Culture

Slovakia provides a very interesting Eastern-European culture for you to enjoy. The Eastern-European architecture of houses and people provide you a little different skiing experience. In Slovakia you can see the big difference between welfare in Bratislava and ordinary life in the countryside. Being in Slovakia is definitely great if you are even little interested in Eastern-European cultures. In case you really hate Eastern-European cultures, I recommend you to go to Gstaad in Switzerland.

Why Ski in Slovakia - Reason #4: There is No Need To Hurry in Slovakia

Would you like to ski fresh powder with no hurry and no fighting in a lift-line? Heh.. it can easily be like that in France, as I have few true stories of “powder morning rush hour” to write one day. In Slovakia you can drink your coffee and eat your breakfast without any hurry and being afraid that in one hour all the powder is gone. Take it relaxed in Slovakia, enjoy your life and go skiing powder with no hurry. Why is it like that? Because Slovakia is not as popular as France when it comes to skiing, and there are not too many people around.

Why Ski in Slovakia - Reason #5: Because it is Different!

Go skiig in Slovakia because it is different! Do something different this year; don’t go to Chamonix, St. Anton or Badgastein again. Instead go skiin in Slovakia. For more about Slovakia, read our article series of skiing in Slovakia.
