Vasilitsa雪予報

We have just spent 5 days here in Vasilitsa. Myself, my wife and our 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter. Here are our scores: Staff and resort personnel: 10/10 Conditions: 8/10 Infrastructure: 8/10 Ski school: 9/10 Ease of parking getting to and from the resort: 9/10 Cost: 9/10 Local villages and accommodation: 8/10 We stayed in the Pindos Palace Hotel, fantastic and great personal service. Great rooms, fantastic breakfast, super clean! For two days we were completely alone on the mountain. We were the only people in the resort (due to road blockades and general political unrest) and the staff were fantastic! They ran the whole infrastructure of the resort, even though we were the only two paying customers (our children did not pay). The snow coverage at the top of the resort was good, however, at the bottom, there was no snow. The staff assisted us in taking our children and our equipment to the higher part of the mountain where we spent the whole day with Vassilitsa our private playground. At the end of the day, the staff assisted once again in returning us all safely to the base. Every single staff member loves this mountain and seemed proud to assist us in any way they could. Considering they have no snow machines, the upper part of the mountain was in excellent condition with good snow and still some small off-piste possibilities. The lifts are quite quick, and over the weekend we were there, we never had to wait. The rental shop at the lower lift was excellent, and the lesson we booked for our son was of the highest order (thanks Michalis); we felt safe and confident in his abilities. For us to spend 5 days in Vasilitsa and ski for all 5 during a period of mediocre snow fall is amazing. On a previous trip to Austria we skied only 5 days out of 8. So we were very pleased. It is a beautiful mountain, with trees and amazing scenery. The surrounding villages in the Pindos Mountain range are good for exploring local tavernas and such. We can fully recommend this resort to all levels of skier or snowboarder, families or solo travellers. It might lack the big chalets and such of the other resorts, yet I believe, this is its charm. One of the best locations for snow sports in Greece where you are in touch with the mountain.
