Slavsko Ski Resort Guide
Slavsko (or Slavske) is the busiest resort in Ukraine because of easy access by rail and because it offers a good variety of slopes on scenic Mt Trostian, on the nearby Politekh mountain as well as two tows on Mt Pohar. The three areas are not linked by lifts and are best suited to intermediate and advanced skiers. The serious drawback with skiing here at Slavsko is that the queues can be horrendous at busy times; so bad that it is possible to buy premium rate tickets that allow the holder to jump straight to the front! Much of the problem is down to frequently failing lifts, so with new facilities springing up across the country, investment here should improve things, e.g the 2km road from Slavsko to the lifts at Mt Trostian is so bad that only truck-taxis use it. A project for Intrawest?!

Visitor Reviews of Slavsko
Bjorn from Netherlands writes:
I've been a couple of times in Slavske (and Bukovel).
In Slavske skiing is as basic as it can get!
Zahar Berkut is for beginners, Trostian not at all!
Positive:
the atmoshere is nice.
friendly people
very cheap comparing to European resorts and Bukovel
it has a train station with direct connections to Kyiv, Lviv and other cities
food is nice, Babushka's selling nice GluhWein and Shaslik on the slopes.
accommodation is good.
Negative:
no snow making
no facilities
slopes not prepared so can be bumpy and icy
lifts very old (Trostian) and slow (Zahar Berkut)
If you want to learn skiing it's fine! If you want serious skiing go to Bukovel.
