Hello, depending on the snow fall and on low temperatures, most ski resorts usually opened few days before Christmas time ( maybe from the 17/12 this year).I think it shoul not be problem for you to find some ski resorts opened at those dates.To check which slopes are opened:http://www.narty.l.pl/index.php/warunki-sniegowe.Hope it helps.Staff of Ogrodygorskie Residence(very comfy apartments in Zakopane)

hi
I am planning for skiing on 22 and 23rd december...is that time within the skiing season? Will the ski resorts be open at that time..or am I taking a risk?

Hi Lech, we just booked our return trip and lessons through Kasia. See you on the 4th of January - looking forward to a few days on the slopes with you again.

It seems that you are beginner with driving a snowmobile.I do not think the hire company will let you go alone, maybe tyou will be joined with a second snowmobile driven by instructor speaking english over headset.In any cases, they will take high deposit, check your passport and driving license in case of accident to cover cost of fixing.

ok but I want drive snowmobile by my self is that possible ?

A license is not needed to drive a snowmobile in Zakopane.Unless you pay a very high deposit and fill up a responsibility form providing your passport details, you will not be able to drive a snowmobile without being sitting together with a snowmobile instructor.Hope it helps(Staff OgrodyGorskie, residence of comfy apartments in Zakopane)

thanks for all answer one moor thing about snowmobile dose need licence require and how many hour need practice for beginner please ?

To learn ski and to have very good feeling and no fear, it may take about 20 hours for beginner level

Hello I never play ski and I come to Zakopane to learn ski so how much hour I must take to be good player please ?

Usually ,snowdoo/snow mobile/snow scooter have a rate of 80 PLN/hour.Ski courses individual is more expensive than collective/group one.Most prices are listed above in that webpage.Staff of Ogrodygorskie Residence(very comfy and affordable apartments in and around Zakopane

hello could some body till how much cost for snow mobill please in zakopane and for beginner ski how many hour need to learn to play please ?

Hello, as I wrote in previous posts: Unless huge snowfall forecast from middle November/early December in Zakopane and surroundings OR very low temperature to make some artificial snow in some resorts(if it is allowed) , most ski resorts and slopes will be opened from the beginning of Christmas holidays(from the middle-end of December).And also because most tourists will come at that period and before that it is like out of season and resorts are getting ready for the coming and rush from foreign tourists(mostly Russians) .So, if it is not possible for you to go skiing with children, you may go to different aquapark in and around Zakopane (with or without thermal water), also you may walk in Zakopane and then go to some games area for kids(Małpi Gaj in Zakopane
Chyców Potok 26(Shopping center Szymonek)Free shuttle bus from Kosciuski 3 to that shopping center)

Planning a trip to Zakopane in last two weeks of November with 5 and 3 yearold grandsons and their parents. Can we ski? if not, what can I do with the children?

Unless huge snowfall forecast from early December in Zakopane and surroundings or very low temperature to make some artificial snow in some resorts(if it is allowed) , most ski resorts and slopes will be opened from the beginning of Christmas holidays(from the middle-end of December).The closest airports are Poprad(Slovakia)airport and Krakow-Balice airport.Hope it helps.Staff of Ogrodygorskie Residence(very comfy and affordable apartments in and around Zakopane)

Can you tell me when the skiing season begins?
What is the nearest airport?
Are skilifts open and lessons available anytime after the end of October 2011? Thanks Ronan

My wife and i visited Zakopane on the 24 January 2011 and had a fantastic skiing experience. We had lessons from Lech and my Wife Ania benefitted masively and improved 1 million per centile. I had expert tuition and tips on carving and was able to put them into practice on Kasprowy on Sunday which was a great days skiing. Thank you Lech for all your help and patience, you are a legend...."Lets Get Ready to Rumble:!!!!!!!!!!! haaaa

sent a request concerning lessons on February 12 and 13... how long will it take to get a reply? just anxious to know if you can schedule us.

We (group of 5, Daniel, Joachim, Rebecca, Sonja and Lutz) had fantastic ski and snow board lessons with Lech and Jakub. The service was amazing and they helped us out wherever they could. The progress we all had after the ski lessons were fantastic. I want to say thank you again to Lech, Jakub and the whole ski team. The other reason why I write such a good comment about the ski instructors is that I get 100 bugs next time when I see Jakub. Ha ha just kidding. It was an amazing and funny time. I really enjoyed the days in Zakopane. Stay as you are. take care and you know: you always see persons twice in life.
bye the funny german Lutz

We had a great lesson with Lech yesterday. Too sore to ride today :) but enjoying some great highlander tea and sending out Christmas emails to friends and family back home.

Hello guys, who want to learn skiing and rent also ski equipment while in Zakopane.You may of course choose the services from that page OR you may ask me some infos and i may also suggest you some accomodations great at affordable price in and around Zakopane. Ogrodygorskie.pl from Zakopane

Hey there Hoping-To-Ski -- there's no such thing as a really bad skier, there are just beginners ;) and all are welcome. We'll be sure to get you zipping down those slopes safely in now time! Lessons are a great idea for anyone starting their skiing experience.

Hi Keery

I invite all to participate in ski lessons - We work with people from all over the world:)

We're planning a trip to Zakopane in March, do you do snowboard lessons as well as ski lessons?

I want to go zakopana for skiing.. ý looked price of the course per hr. it was too much and ýf is there any beginner ý can join and we all together can learn it by ourselves. it suppose to be easy to learn. more over ý want to ask question, ýf one knows, how much is it to hire skiing equippment in there? could you inform me?? bests

We are coming to Zakopane on 22 February for a week, with a group from the Lancashire region in the UK. Two of us are complete beginners (just one hour on an indoor slope!!!!) and are looking for a small group or individual lessons.

I'm from the London (UK) and I'll be in Poland for a friend’s wedding the weekend of 9th Jan and staying until 17th 2010 and I would like to take the opportunity to learn to ski, if you have group lessons that individual people can join or if anyone fancies skiing between 11-16th Jan 2010 please let me know?

I was in Zakopane on February 14thor a week and we booked some lessons with Lech and Adam.They are 2 great guys with great patience for beginners and skiers of all levels.This was my 2nd visit to Zakopane and will be heading back again definatly.Would highly recommend Lech and Adam to anyone.Great fun and very well organised.I was in Adams inter/advanced class and my husband was in beginners with Lech.Both of us loved the lessons.Roll on the next trip !

We have just had a great holiday with our kids skiing in Zakopane. We booked English language ski lessons with Lech and Adam who were fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend them - they also arranged all the equipment hire and helped us with recommending which slopes to visit. The Polish people were very friendly and the holiday good value - we had no problem with being ripped off by taxis or anything else. Not many Brits/Americans while we were there - seemed to be mainly Polish people on holiday.

Well, it was quite embarrassing watching 5 year-olds zip past at a hundred miles an hour whilst I fell over five times before I'd even managed to stand up properly! But thanks to Lech I got there in the end, and I can't wait now to get back on the slopes!

Many thanks to Lech and Adam for their fab lessons. We had a group lessons with Lech first, and because myslef and a friend weren't as good as the others in our group Lech gave us another instructor - Adam - so we could practise more for the same price! Thanks to bohth of you for a great experience. We'll definitely book with you again when we come back!

Hey Karl aren't you too much excited about Poland. Your comments are everywhere. Calm down buddy.

HI DOES ANYONE DO FREESTYLE SNOW BOARDING LESSONS FOR BEGINNERS, I HAVE SNOWBOARDED BEFORE BUT I HAVE NEVER DONE FREESTYLE

I am looking to go on a ski (beginner) hol this Winter. Could you let me know which months are usually the best in Zakopane. A friend of mine was taught by you last year and was very pleased with the lessons and the beauty of the area.

Dear Mrs Green.
Thank you very much for your remarks. Please accept my apologies for this situation, I really could not give you and your family ski lessons last season.
You have wonderful children and I would like them to have satisfaction with ski lessons with us.I warmly welcome you and your family to Zakopane this winter season. I offer you and your family five ski lesson for free:-)

February 2008. The pre-booked ski instructor let us down not once but 3 times. His name was Lech and he turned up very late the first day, then just dumped us a ski rental place because he had double booked. After this he didn't even bother to turn up, just texted me or phoned to say he wanted to rearrange or cancel. This could have been a disaster except that the ski school were able to accommodate us.

my grandad tadeusz schiele was brillant at skking so was my great grandfather kazimierz and his twin brother aleksander l am hoping to try and do it in augest when l am over in zakopane l can not wait to be in zakopane first time for everythink

Many thanks Lech,it's fantastic to go from never skiing before to be up and on the slopes.If you need a high quality English speaking instructor - Book Lech before you go.

Thanks for all your help Lech. We had really good time in Zakopane and we have definitely enjoyed skiing lessons (even thou it was quite scary for some of us at the beginning!)

hey, I had a couple of ski lessons with Lech and they were great! We went to Harenda on just the beginners slope and after just an hour I was able to go solo without falling over. Ski passes and equipment hire is dead cheap and the lessons are very reasonable priced too. Thanks Lech and thanks Zakopane Life for organising everything.
