Of course the million dollar question for any winter sportsmen and women coming to Zakopane is: "is it snowing?"
It's all very well coming all the way to the beautiful Tatras for a spot of skiing, but if there's no snow it's no go. Well the good news for you powder enthusiasts is that the snow conditions in Zakopane are usually reliably good. Snow normally falls as early as December, and in fact the skiing season runs from December all the way through until May. Meaning there's plenty of time for budding snowboarders to perfect their air to fakies...
There are also artificial snow makers to bolster Zakopane's snow conditions if Mother Nature isn't supplying the goods.
In the very near future Zakopane Life plan to bring you an up-to-date prognosis on the exact snow conditions on the slopes but for now please check our standard weather page to see if the white stuff is falling!
The good news is that for 2007 the snow finally arrived (later than usual) and we're expecting decent conditions for the rest of the season! Race you to the drag lifts...

We NEED to know snow depths, and there is no mention anywhere. How difficult can it be!!! Get your rulers out and start measuring! " | Hilary

Too right! we need to know snow conditions on the slopes! I've been looking all over Tatra Mountain web sites and can't find snow conditions anywhere, including in the well-resourced Zakopane. The axiom is, "if there is snow, they will come." Well, if we're not sure there's snow, we aint coming -- it's a long way from Tobago to go with no snow. ;-)" | Peter
