Skiing in JASNA, SLOVAKIA | Everything you need to know

[@SnowCrewApp]

I just love watching ski resorts which are not included in "top 10 ski resorts" yt videos. Well done Slovakia!

[@daktarisvk]

Seems like you need to visit it personally to find out, why Jasná is not in top 10 yt videos.😂

[@zbyswitta]

Your english skills are really good! Thanks for a really informative video, I got to know few things I couldnt find on other channels.

[@oneofthem0]

I don't agree with your last statement - Liptovsky Mikulas was a very nice place to stay at. We booked a quite cheap but very new hotel in the city center, and had amazing night walks and amazing food at the Restaurant A La Pizza Taverna. Great video btw, but Liptovsky Mikulas is truly worth checking out :)

[@rdaugiala]

Yes, it’s just my personal opinion :) Just felt like Mikulas is miles away from that sharm you can find in Alpine villages. It just depends on what your expectations are… :)

[@fgaspar_dot_com]

Because of this video I just booked my 2024 ski vacations here in a hotel right in the resort - Hotel Björnson ...I normally go to Austria, but they are super expensive for some reason next year .. Hopefully I do not regret and get a lots of snow.

[@Crush3r15NL]

I have also booked here for mid februari because austria is getting out of hand, im staying in the Demänová Rezort. Lets hope it will be amazing :D

[@daktarisvk]

😂 that was a bad decision.

[@fgaspar_dot_com]

​@@daktarisvkindeed it was.... Returned today... What a rip-off. Bad sow(all over Europe I get it) but still.. here was bad. The ski area was overcrowded, they charge for the normal ski pass and to have a "fast pass" so you can skip the line... So they make the normal experience horrible for everyone and capitalize on this "special" mode. I paid the ski pass online and it was still more expensive than some very good areas in Austria if paid online too... The snow was really bad... Did I say that the snow was bad? Yes it was really bad. The only "okish" slope was the one in the south I think it was "Black 32" but still a bit icy... Everything else was overcrowded and with bad snow. "Live and learn" that's my moto

[@jojocluddy2534]

Where in Austria do you recomment please? I plan to go last week of Marck for 8 days.

[@fgaspar_dot_com]

@@jojocluddy2534end of March is tricky as most ski Resorts close in the beginning of April, this year has been particulary tricky for good snow although there was new snow coming last week... End of March I would shoot for one of the Glaciers, they are open until May. Stubai Glacier, Pitztaler Glacier or Sölden will definitely have good conditions and they are big enough, being Sölden the biggest ski area although only the glacier part might be open.. I Personally like Pitztaler it is smaller than the others but normally is less crowded.

Your English is very good! thank you for such a nice and informative video! 👍

Thank you, these words made me high :D

Good video Ramunai, your english is fine! Ačiu už video

Thanks for support! :) Yeah, Lithuanian accent. I know how some words should sound, but it just goes differently.. :D

[@oxohoh88888]

Nice video! May I ask how long does it take to get to the highest station by the lift from this Luchy station? Thank you very much!

[@razvanverzescu8308]

Nice video! From what I saw, it was a bit crowded at the cable installations. When exactly did you film this? I want to plan a vacation there and the information would be very useful! Thank you very much!

[@rdaugiala]

I shot video in mid february. But Jasna is quite crowded all main season long. A lot of tourists from Poland, Baltic states, because it’s the nearest ski resort by car to them (excluding the mini ski areas). If you can get early and by first on slopes, then you can catch some freedom. Some lifts are not crowded. Red slopes are less crowded, All parking lots fill up very quickly in the morning.. :/

[@pointofXreturn]

what is the average price of hotels per week? What villages can someone recommend nearby or it's better to settle near lifts? Are there any ski buses? I checked prices and it looks pretty expensive

[@joshf2719]

Love this. Well done.

[@maresem]

Great video, your English is better than our Slovak! 🤪Do you have any advice about Jasna in April? We are looking to book for a budget skiing holiday with our two kids, beginner to intermediate levels. Would you say the conditions are still ok at that time of year?

[@rdaugiala]

Nobody knows what the conditions will be like this season. Jasna is a low-altitude resort, so it's even harder to predict. Yes, Chopok Peak can still be full of snow, but lower parts can be muddy with some or many closed slopes and grass everywhere around... :) Most likely there will be grass around the slopes anyways in April. So it's risky if we are talking about the quality of skiing :) For the budget - YES! :D

[@user-uy3bj9ue5c]

Very good video.

[@MrAudriusv]

Šaunus video! Net ir dabar, kai daug mažiau vienų kaimynų atvažiuoja, Jasnoje eilės vasario viduryje? Kaip tik galvojome per vaikų atostogas (vasario 11-18) varyti su visa šeima. Bet dabar susimėtėme... Gal geriau Alpės kovo pabaigoje - balandžio pradžioje? O neteko pačiam kituose Slovakijos regionuose slidinėti? Gal yra koks nedidelis, kur mažiau žmonių būna?

[@rdaugiala]

Labai daug iš Lietuvos slidininkų Jasnoj, čekai, lenkai, slovakai, tikrai bus daug žmonių. Alpės visada geriau, čia tik kainos ir atstumo klausimas. Nors nemačiau kurortų kur būtų mažai žmonių. Tik geriau jie išsiskaido alpėse, galima rast erdvės. Dėl kovo ir vėliau, tai rinktis aukštesnius kurortus reiktų, tokie kaip kitzbuchel, skiwelt, zell am see ir kiti kur 2000 m trasu apacioj labai susivelia sniegas jau per pietus, nes geras pliusas stovi. Nebent saltas pavasaris. Tai giliau į Austrija, Italija. Aš daugiausiai Prancūzijos išmaišęs, Slovakijos nžn nieko daugiau. Maži kurortai keliom dienom arba mokintis, su vaikais.. Jei nerūpi su slydimo technika padirbėt iš Alpių geresni įspūdžiai būna, gražesni kaimukai, servisas, daugiau kalnų šarmo.

[@MrAudriusv]

@@rdaugiala Ačiū už atsakymą. Prieš 25 metus slidinėti pradėjau ir vienu momentu labai daug slidinėjau (po 5-8 kartus per sezoną) Austrijoje, Italijoje, Šveicarijoje, Prancūzijoje ir Slovakijoje. Bet paskui gyvenimas pakoregavo viską ir buvo kokių 10 metų pertrauka. Dabar sveikata turputį geresnė, tai noriu mažiausią dukrą nuvežti pirmą kartą į kalnus - gal užsikabliuos :). Aišku, tada trauksim į Austriją arba Italiją. Nebent matysis, kad ir Slovakijoje yra sniego (tiesiog per dieną susipakavai ir nulėkiai savaitei - tuo Slovakija patogi). Kažkuriais metais kovo pabaigoje Chopake turėjau superinę slidinėjimo savaitę - sniego nerealus kiekis, oras nuostabus, o žmonių 0.

[@ladutska]

Perfect video :) I'll subscribe!

[@rdaugiala]

Great news. It's going to take some patience, I'm caught up with work and household, but I plan to push this youtube thing more later this year :D

[@sydneygod5785]

Hey what is the cheapest hotel near by? Anybody know?

Got to love the jeans

[@rdaugiala]

Yea pants look like fat jeans :D But I still can’t forget one lady which asked “can i help you” when i was skiing with sled dogs :D

[@ankitchhetri3649]

Can we get skiing gear and suit for rent?in jasna?

[@rdaugiala]

Skiing gear you can, for suit i have doubts :)

[@MoFroBo]

Sveiki, esam zali slidinejime. Gal turite minciu, kurie Europos kurortai mums tiktu? Paziurejus Jasna, tai zmoniu skaicius biski neramina.

[@rdaugiala]

Sveiki, jei zali tai bus ir del trasu neaptogu. Reiktu paziuret didesni kurorta, kad nuo rytinio keltuvo grizt butu melyna trasa ir seip susijungianciu melynu trasu daugiau. Tada jau ta malonuma pajausit. Begale tu kurortu, kas bebutu Pranzucija, Austrija, Italija visur smagu didesniuose kur aukstis geras. Bandykit is artimiausiu Austrijoj pradzioj paziuret "St. Anton", "Kitzbuhel" koki ar pan., skirsis nuo Slovakijos, Lenkijos ar Cekijos labai, nors aukstis nera didelis. O didziausias kaifas visokios Val Gardena Italijoj, 3 sleniai Prancuzijoj, tarkim Bad Gastein Austrijoj nerealiausia gal Europoj raudona trasa, kitur gal naktinis gyvenimas. As pats 3 sleniuose stojaus ant slidziu, brangu aisku, bet ten Krusavelyje "poniu trasos" vadinamos superines liux zaliems. Cia vieno atsakymo nebus kur vaziuot ;)

Excellent. Thank you.

[@MacelaruDead]

Can you tell me pls the nane of houses where did you stay in that Time?

I stayed in “Liptovské chaty” 20-25 min drive to the slopes. For the price really nice chalets. www.liptovskechaty.sk/en/

[@rdaugiala]

@@kristianhadinata122 I saw many tourist buses. If you will go with tourist agencie or live near slopes, no problem. With ski bus ghm.. They go from the lowest parking for free, maybe from town. You should dig deeper for that ;)

[@skullgeezer7174]

The closest airport is Poprad-Tatry. Sadly, only WizzAir flies there

[@D19944]

Can you party there or is bulgaria better?

[@rdaugiala]

Tricky question :) I’m more skying person.. There is no ski village with night life in Jasna. I think if partying is main goal, then first Bansko, then Borovets are better options :)
