Snow Conditions
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!

Hello Dear Joel, most ski slopes in Zakopane and around will be closed. Kasprowy Wierch , ski complex mostly for medium and advanced ski level , should be opened until beginning of May. Regards. Hope my answer helps.Staff of Ogrodygorskie(3 residences of 28 comfy apartments in and around Zakopane)

Hello there, I'll be heading to zakopane with some friends from the 5th to 9th of April. Hoping to do some skiing while we're there. Could you provide some information on the ski resorts which will still be open, suitable for beginners? Thanks so much for your help :)

Hello, I has fallen the last 2 days about 50 cm of snow in the city(so even more on ski slopes).So, the snow and ski conditions should be very good until end of March at least.Staff of Apart-center and Ogrodygorskie residence in Zakopane(27 very comfy and cozy apartments in 3 locations in Zakopane);-)

HEllo Dear Audrey, it will be possible to ski and snowboard on some ski slopes end of Marchewki. However, it is hard to say with certitude which slopes will be opened and what will be snow conditions like on those slopes.For medium ski level, I recommend Szymoszkowa, Harenda, Kasprowy Wierch , białka and bukowina. Evening life and Night life is still good in Zakopane in many restaurants, disco-restaurants, pubs/bars, nightclubs in the town.For accomodation of very good standard , the best is in center and closed to bus station to reach easily slopes If You do not have car in Zakopane, Hope the answer helps.

Hi, I plan to go snowboarding in zakopane the last week of march with my boyfriend. We are both in our early thirties. First of all I'm wondering will there be snow then? Also I want to know what would be the best slopes for us to do. We can both snowboard but are not very advanced. Any recommendations of where to stay. We would like to stay somewhere nice. Lastly are there any good bar with good nightlife? Thanking you in advance for any suggestions/advice :)

Last year 2012 we visited Zakopane in February and had a wonderful Kulig Bacowski experience. This was a torchlit horse drawn sleigh ride followed by a meal and entertainment at a hotel in the mountains. This was the highlight of our holiday and we have booked for this February so our family and grandchildren can enjoy the same. We are devastated to be told by the company that it only runs during the weekends and not when we are there on the 18th or 19th February. Can anyone suggest an alternative company please. Our grandchildren have never been abroad and we want them to have this special experience if possible. We would be grateful for any other suggestions. Thank you

Hello, For truely beginners I would recommnend NOSAL ski slopes. Ski school email : szkolastrama@nosal.pl .Then if you are getting good feeling on slopes, you may change resort(for Harenda, Szymoszkowa, Bialka or Bukowina Tatrzanska...).Then you may get courses from the ski school located at the bottom of each slopes.Of course the best is to prebook ski lessons in advance as it may be a lot of people for not enough ski instructor.ski lessons 1 to 1 , or in group of 3-4 persons, as you want,Please do contact Nosal from us.Check the link for ski slopes in Zakopane: http://www.nanarty.info.pl/kompleksy-narciarskie-w-polsce/tatry.html , ski slopes out but nearby Zakopane:http://www.nanarty.info.pl/kompleksy-narciarskie-w-polsce/podtatrze.html .

Hello, even of on the website of www.pkl.pl , it is mentionned that the ski slopes are not opened officially for skiing, I saw many people going down skiing the slopes named Goryczkowa. So, it seems that it is opened unofficially with a lot of fresh snow not compacted , and that people ski there at their on risk.

Hello Vallu, the ski season starts usually the first weekend before Christmas(25th December).If the snowfall and temperatures are low and good enough, all slopes(in and arouynd Zakopane) should be opened for the beginning of January(if not enough natural snowfall, some snow can be manmade on most slopes) and should be opened until end March(or even end of April).Hope my answer helps.Staff of Ogrodygorskie (residence of 26 comfy apartments in Zakopane).Regards

Hello Karol, usually the best time to come to ski to Zakopane is in February, season usually ends end of March when the snow gets less practicable.However it is hard to give a snow forecast almost 1 year in advance.Ski season is from end of December until snow conditions are getting worse and snow slopes are closing.(this year, most ski slopes were opened until end of March, last year until end of February).Hope my answer helps.Staff of Ogrodygorskie residence of comfy and cosy apartments in Zakopane

Hi again, on Prima Aprilis(1st April), for your information it is not a joke for Fool's Day, it has fallen again downhill in Zakopane city between 10-20 cm of fresh snow in less than 24 hours(so more on top hills and mountains peaks). Deers are coming down closed to houses to get some grass, branches, herbs to eat as the spring weather turn back to snowy winter in one day. So, it seems that in the next days it will be possible to ski on most slopes(also down hill slopes) in very good snow conditions, even if some windstorm occur on Kasprowy.Most slopes will be so opened for sure at Easter time as cold weather forecasts are given until Easter Monday at least.Staff of Apart-center and Ogrodygorskie apartments

Hello, there is still a lot of snow on all slopes in and around Zakopane.However weather forecasts give a big increase on temperatures in next few days.The weather will be beautiful but snow will melt quickly.So, the small and low slopes will suffer quicker of that higher temperatures combined with strong sun than the High level resorts like Kasprowy Wierch.Hope it helps.

The weather forecast in Zakopane and specially 1 week in advance are not very accurate, whatever the website providing those information.You may check weather 3 days forecast on accuweather.com, and pogodynka.pl , 8days-14 days on weatheronline.pl .Weather forecasts provided on that last website are giving low temperatures and snowfall.Anyway, wherever you will go fr sking, you will be able to ski and snowbaord in very good conditions as if there is bad snow conditions, they will make some snow by night.But for sure, in the main ski resort Kasprowy Wierch but elsewhere also, ski conditions will be very good.You may also check links on website rovided on previous posts for snow conditions and opened slopes.

Hello Firsttimevisitor,ski season is almost over in Zakopane.Some slopes may still be opened when you will be coming to Zakopane as Szymoszkowa, Nosal and some slopes from Kasprowy Wierch.Ski conditions could be not very good.So, the best is to Check narty.pl with webcams and their own websites.If you have to pay a lot to bring by plane your ski equipment, and depending on the length of your stay, I would advise you to think to rent ski and boots equipment(it costs about 35 PLN/day)day by day, as there may be only few days for you to enjoy skiing in Zakopane.Staff of Ogrodygorskie apartments-Zakopane
