harrys39 from Ski Greece Greece
I was there Monday. I have to say this winter is the best last ten years. I go every year but I never saw so much snow. Everywhere fresh powder. Not many people and easy to park your car. Only problem is the sun has thirty days to appear. Except the fog the conditions are very good this season. (for Greece this snow is very good. We are not the Alps but don't forget we have all in one (mountain sea rivers lakes e. t. c. ) .......waiting all of you in my country

Gelface !!! from Ski Macedonia Macedonia
The mountain and the ski center (Vigla Pisoderi) in extension, is one of the best and well working in Greece and specially in west Macedonia. Both infrastructure and the personnel will make everything for you to enjoy skiing!

dimitris from Ski Greece Greece
Pisoderi (Vigla Pisoderi) is one of the best snow resorts in Greece. Early winter it's deeply covered in snow, 'till late' spring and offers the best snow conditions because the tree cover of the area is rich. The snow stays in the best possible conditions. At Vigla Pisoderi you can also have fun with freeride runs / airboard trails, or even snowkite experience!

konstantinos 2211 from Ski Greece Greece
Vigla Pisoderi is really the best resort of Greece. Unlike others it is right on a major road and next to a village. There are many nice places to stay like the hotel Modesteios. The terrain is not very widespread but enough for a long weekend and the lifts are very good (again, many other Greek resorts still use old and slow ones). The staff and people are friendly. But the most important thing: alongside with Mt. Voras Kaimaktsalan, Vigla Pisoderi is the snow safest resort in Greece and you can be sure to find deep snow from December-April.

Vigla (Vigla Pisoderi) is an excellent place! My friends (Done,66 and Cane,58),and I, Kosta(51), all old skiers from Bitola(Monastiry), Rep. of Macedonia, spent there more than thirty snowy days this season! The slopes were prepared very professional and the lifts functioned without any break! Congratulations to Mr.Tottis! He is a big manager! Congratulations to his team!

Chronis from Ski Greece Greece
Vigla Pisoderi is by far the best ski resort in Greece. Good quality of snow - good weather conditions and excellent slopes. Temperatures are usually at low levels. However, Vigla Pisoderi could have been more well-organised.

Vigla Pisoderi has the best snow quality on its excellent ski-runs. There are many trees and not much wind. This keeps the snow in the best possible conditions. Vigla (Vigla Pisoderi) is a 'must visit'.
