Bánkút雪予報

Mt. Bukk, or its top resort Bankut has been afflicted with some unfairly dry weather since the beginning of this ski season. The available snow making capacity is insufficient to make up for the almost complete lack of natural snow. Bankut could be otherwise great with its unique atmosphere of decent slopes arranged side by side in an increasing order of vertical drop and excitement/ challenge, and the club and lodging house right in the middle of the 'ski circus'. There is even a brand new and high capacity ski lift installed beside the good old J-bar lifts. Local authorities (including the strictly restrictive Bukk National Park) should join the enthusiastic local people in their effort to find more water and step up snow making facilities. Bankut, at the top of Mt. Bukk and just beside Miskolc city is an ideally laid out resort with a homely feel, run by a passionate personnel but not often blessed with substantial snowfalls.
