Hi All,
I am new to this forum so hello to everyone.
First question, has anyone been to Kranjska Gora in Slovenia. I am taking my wife and 4 year old daughter for their second time skiing.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Neil M :-)

just got back from an absolutely perfect week's skiing with the family. The village is just gorgeous, and in a fantastic location. Heaps of snow, beautifully manicured every night and topped up with many snow cannons. The slopes are perfect for all but advanced skiers - I'm sort of intermediate and it took me a couple of hours to get from one side of the ski area to the other. The chair lifts are heavenly through the pine woods, particularly at night when the slopes are floodlit from 7-10pm - kids wouldn't let me have time off... go in one of the Hit hotels and you get access to the pool complex at the foot of the slopes - indoor, but with panoramic view of the mountains and sit within feet of piles of snow.
My advice - go on the sledging trip at 5pm Tuesday and Thursdays. You're taken in jeeps deep into the woods with loads of sledges, then sledge down the icy tracks to the bottom. They even have a mountain hut at the bottom with mulled wine - a perfect evening.

I have often thought about going to KG. It does appear to have a very limited ski area, but i have also heard its beautiful as well as being cheap.
Would a 5 week skier not get bored with such limited skiing though?

A five week skier being someone who's skied for 5 weeks or who plans on skiing for 5 weeks ? Assuming its the former - I suppose it depends on what you're used to. My only other resort experience is Megeve/St Gervais in France which is huge. I remember we spent a lot of the time queing for lifts. KG rarely had any queues (end Jan07) particularly for the longer chair lifts, although the drag lifts on the learner slopes did get up to 10-15 mins at times.
Regards cheap - not silly cheap, but relative to the £4+ pints of beer in many French resorts (my favourite benchmark...) it is cheap. Beer £1.40/pint, hot chocs 2 euros on the slopes, pizza meal for the family with drinks under £20. Very friendly, English v.common etc etc. Reading my previous message it looks like I'm a plant from the KG tourist board ! Honest I'm not, just someone who's just had a damn good holiday...
