By all means Poland's biggest and best ski resort. Located south of Zakopane town, close to the Slovak border and on the edge of the Tatra Mountains National Park, in southern Poland, S of Krakow. The skiing at Zakopane is fragmented and the lift infrastructure archaic, although, reportedly, undergoing some modernization. The nearest ski slopes are 3km (2 miles) away at Kasprowy Wierch where there is high alpine skiing in two treeless bowls. Other nearby areas are Gubalowka and Nosal.

Resorts close to Zakopane include: Białka Tatrzańska (14 km), Štrbské Pleso (21 km), Zdiar - Bachledova Dolina (22 km), Zdiar - Strednica (23 km), Starý Smokovec - Jakubkova lúka (26 km),

We went to Krakow recently (March 2008) and spent 1 day snowboarding in Zakopane (to research the resort for a future holiday).
I have to say, I was very pleased with the snow and the experience. The snow, even at this time in the season, was well maintained and the conditions were very good.
Skiing there isn't like the Alpes where there is one integrated resort - instead it is split into several ski areas where you purchase separate ski passes based on the number of times you use the lift. The equipment near the ski slopes was very good (perhaps one season old at most) and it lives up to the level of ski service you would expect in the Alpes. I would avoid the rental shops in dead centre of town as some of it looked very dated.
Sign posting there is poor to say the least, but the official tourist office is very helpful when you find it.
All in all, we had a great day of skiing. As a guide: our snowboard and boot rental came to £8 for the day and they didn't try and charge me when I returned a boot halfway through the day which I had broken! The ski pass was about £12 each for the equivalent of a day of skiing (but some areas are more and less expensive.)
