Sometimes artificial snow may be brought in, but it doesn't always guarantee optimal skiing conditions. Therefore, the resort is recommended for those who don't consider downhill skiing or snowboarding as the main focus of their trip and are open to exploring the surrounding areas instead.

On the best days, the snow depth can reach up to 3 meters. Towards the end of the season, in March, the snow may become wetter.
