The slope preparation is very good.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.

Detailed description of the ski resort
Approx. 10 km from Cerkno you can take either the high speed six person chair Pocivalo or the high speed quad respectively the double chair Brdo up to the ski resort. With the high speed quad with bubbles Brdo you can go up to the peak. Here also ends the six person chair Pocivalo from the other side of the resort. The slopes near the peak are very easy and very good for beginners. The t-bar Dolina and the double chair Gric serve these slopes, too. Via the intermediate run no. 9 or the advanced run no. 8 you can reach the high speed six person chair with bubbles Lom. This lift takes you up to 1287m, the highest point in this resort. At the six person chair you will find an advanced run and the nice intermediate run no. 9. The t-bar Lom, near the top station serves another easy slope. From the base station Lom you can take the new quad Davca or a flat way from the top station of the six person chair to the slopes down to Brdo. There is an easy and an intermediate run down to Brdo. From the easy run branches a flat way off to the parking lot Tuskov Gric and another flat way leads back to the lifts from the parking lot. Down to the six person chair Pocivalo leads a nice easy slope through the forest. The slopes at Cerkno are all wide and well groomed, so that everybody can ski very well. There is no Après Ski at the resort...
