Ski Season Kicks Off at Hungary’s Two Largest Ski Parks

Skiing is now possible at the country’s two largest ski parks, with continuous snowmaking on several slopes.

On December 29, the Síaréna Vibe Park in Eplény (western Transdanubia) officially opened its doors, the company announced on its Facebook page.

Skiers and snowboarders can currently use the entire length of slope 1 and the T1 training slope. The slopes are accessible by a four-seater chairlift and a beginner’s lift. The average snow depth is currently 27 centimeters, the slopes have already been groomed, and snowmaking is ongoing and ski lessons have started on December 30.

In a recent Facebook post the company announced that more slopes will hopefully be accessible to the public:

“Snowmaking on the upper section of slope 7 is progressing quite well, and although the upper sections of 1/B and 6 are not yet in ideal condition, we now believe that we will be able to open these slopes on January 1. If that’s not enough, on January 2, we would like to open the lower section of slope 7 with our 2-seater lift, as well as the T2 and T4 training slopes with their accompanying training lifts. We will keep you updated on the progress of our plans from time to time,” the company wrote.

On Monday morning, December 29, ski lessons also started at the Mátraszentistván (northern Hungary) ski park. Currently, several slopes and lifts are in operation, and as conditions allow, more and more training slopes will open.

Snowmaking is necessary to open additional slopes. Despite the unfavorable weather, work is continuing on the preparation of additional slopes, so snow cannons may be in operation not only at night but also during the day in the coming days.
