Play is like a small piece of Bukovel. Main advantage is no crowds and waiting lines at lifts. Also it is a little cheaper. There are enough cannons; slopes are prepared and don't get as bumpy as in Bukovel. So it is almost a nice place to learn. The biggest danger are crowds of drunk guys riding recklessly. Their crashes look funny from the lift, but they can hit you if you're a beginner.
