We love Jahorina. We have skied there since 2004.
The resort has had a fair amount of money spent on it so most of the old chair lifts from the '84 Olympics have been replaced with modern 6 seater high speed ones.
The pistes are moderately maintained and there is a lot of safe off-piste to be had as well; recommend a guide if you want to take this option.
The accommodation round the resort is very good. Some are very pricey, some are left overs from the Olympics but there are great places for really reasonable rates. We've tried a number with our favourites being 'Hotel Board' for a half board package (great food) and Hotel Sport Granzov for apartments.
The lift passes are very cheap.
The ski tuition is awesome, including a former member of the Olympic team who has got to be the most patient person on the planet!
We use the ski rental in hotel Sport Granzov and the gear is great; they even have boots for my husband with size 14 (UK)/48 (EU) feet. They have kitted out my kids since age 4.
They have had some issues with lack of snow in early Feb recently so keep an eye on the cameras! It really is worth a visit & less than an hour transfer from the airport at Sarajevo. The bonus is, of course, you could look around the city too which is about the most fascinating place I have been to.

Visit Jahorina! I have just got back from Jahorina a couple of days ago. This is easily one of the best resorts I have been to.
Skiing was fantastic, despite the sub-zero temperatures. A consequence of the Siberian weather.
Challenging enough for intermediates who don't want to do black runs and lots of nicely linked blues and reds.
I stayed in the Bistrica Hotel which were basic but clean and tidy. Its' advantage is that it is close to the main ski lift. The instructor was very good and spoke excellent English. Would definitely recommend it to all my friends.

I went there 3 years ago, and it was fantastic. We went in February and there was more than 2m of snow.
If you go there it is better to stay in private houses than in hotels. Hotel offers are appaling. Houses are very nice and you are in contact with people, owners who are very nice and allways prepared to bring you whatever you want from the city.
The prices are low. Food, drink and ski tickets are cheap. Low price for ski tickets is linked with old infrastructure on the ski resort. All chair lifts are from the Olympic games that took place in 1984. But that is not a problem, of corse if you are not some spoiled kid and you like some wildness on slopes. Slopes are not maintained with machinery. Only skiers are grooming the snow, so if you like riding powder and if you are luck that if it is snowing in Sarajevo this is the place to be. Enjoy it.
