Fabulous skiing on the Kasprowy Wierch ski slopes in the Tatrzanski National Park for people who can already ski.

Kasprowy Wierch (1987 m) in Zakopane is a both a summer and winter playground. The snow lasts there until the end of April. In 2010 the skiing season eneded on the 4th of May and the photo on the left was taken on the 29th April 2010 when there was still 1.11 m of snow and superb conditions with sunshine and warmth.

The only way for skiiers to get to the top is to take the cable car from the Kuznice Visitor Centre and purchase a pass at the top for use of the ski lift. After 11 am day passes are half-price.
