On Monday night, 70 snowmakers were producing snow on the slopes of Skalnaté Pleso: Generál, Esíčka, Čučoriedky západ and Čučoriedky východ. 7 snow guns were active in Štrbské Pleso on the slopes of Solisko and Furkota at the same time. With decreasing temperatures from Wednesday, more snowmakers are joining the process at lower altitudes as well – on the pistes of Interski, Turistická and Esíčko. The same applies to Tatranská Lomnica and the pistes of Štart.

On Tuesday night, snowmakers in Jasná in the Low Tatras began to work at full power. Between the altitudes of 2,004 metres and 1,700 metres, 20 snow lances were making snow in the section of the piste of Chopok – Luková. Other machines were joining them in other locations step by step. 

In order to make the slopes as compact as possible, the freshly made show must “ripen” in heaps at first and only after some time, snow groomers pick up the baton and distribute the snow to make the layer as thick as needed. If cold weather continues, the ski resorts in the Low and High Tatras will keep on making snow in the following days. Local Tatra people are doing anything to help create a “white winter” and prepare a good basic layer on ski slopes, which means high-quality pistes for the first skiing adventures of this year. 

25th November will be the first day when the art of ice carving will be presented in the High Tatras again, this time in the form of Spiš gothic that should decorate the interior of the Tatra Temple of Ice in Hrebienok. The winter season in Jasná begins on 3rd December with a rich sports programme during the day and an impressive night dance party in the Happy End music club – Winter Music Opening – World Cruise Edition.
