Slovenian Ski Resorts Expect Good Season

Kranjska Gora, 16 November

Slovenian ski lift operators expect a good season this year, as they invested a lot of money into three new ski lifts, artificial snow machines and numerous other projects, head of the national ski lift operators association Ales Ursic said on Wednesday.

The biggest investments so far were made in the Kranjska Gora ski resort with a new four-seater ski lift and artificial snow machines worth some SIT 900m (EUR 3.75m).
An even bigger investment was made at Slovenia's highest ski resort, Kanin (W), which is to get a four-seater, linking the slopes on the Slovenian side with the ones in Italy in a project worth SIT 1.1bn (EUR 4.59m).
A new ski lift was also built at the Golte (N) ski resort. The new double-seater is worth SIT 240m (EUR 1m).
Other ski resorts mainly invested in housing and artificial snow facilities, with the Pohorje (NE) ski resort investing SIT 1.1bn (EUR 4.59m) into housing facilities and an expansion of its artificial snow system.
The one-day ticket prices are to increase substantially from last year. They will range from SIT 4,400 (EUR 18.37) for the Kobla ski resort to 5,900 SIT (EUR 24.63) for Slovenia's most expensive ski resort, Kranjska Gora.
More than 1.4 million skiers hit the slopes in Slovenia in last season.
