The popular and long-awaited ski festival is knocking on the door. The first downhill fans will ski down freshly groomed slopes from the top of Mt. Chopok and the altitude of 2,004 metres in the Low Tatras in a few days already. Their skiing experiences will begin on the northern side of the mountain where they can be the first to face their Gopass Ski Challenge and accomplish their skiing resolutions. The TOP ski resort Jasná, which has got 5 prestigious quality awards and was awarded as the fastest developing ski resort in London this November, is the first ski resort in Slovakia that is opening its slopes on 5th December in the morning. Two significant regions of Liptov and Horehronie will join their forces on top of Mt. Chopok to welcome winter together and light the highest located Christmas tree. The whole day on the slopes of Jasná will be rich in various competitions and hosted by Andrej Bičan. Visitors will get a chance to win a BMW X3 car for 100 days of the winter season.  The music aprés-ski club called Happy End will host the most-awaited party of the season on the first Saturday of December – the traditional Winter Music Opening.

Skiers will be using personal GOPASS cards instead of ski passes this winter. Gopasses purchased in the www.gopass.sk e-shop have lower prices when compared to regular ticket offices. Free registration and purchasing of e-ski passes is really easy and can be done at home, in all comfort. Gopass is not only advantageous but also multipurpose and enables skiers skip long queues at ticket offices. Once they get out of their cars, they go straight to the slopes. Gopass literally saves time and money. Clients collect loyalty points for buying products and services which they can redeem for other services and benefits in the resorts operated by TMR. This year, Gopass can be used also abroad – in the Czech ski resort Špindlerův Mlýn. For more information, please click HERE.
This year´s winter season looks really promising. And people in the Tatras hope for a thick natural snow cover that would make tourists but also local skiers happy.
