Ski trails in Podobovets
PODOBOVETS-2000
There are 3 drag lifts in the ski resort. Two of them are more then 1200 m long, the third one is three times shorter.
There are trails for all types of skiers — from beginners to professionals. You can use the smaller lift to train your skiing of snowboarding skills or to improve your beginner skills. There is a convenient, gradual downhill for those purposes.
The ski trails around the bigger lifts differ in their complexity. The upper parts (more than 0,5 km) are steeper, then there is an intermediate part of the rote, and finally till the lower station, there is the easiest part. It's like that on the central part of the route between two bigger lifts.
The upper station of the lift І is the highest, and from there there is the most of all options to go down. You can go down an intermediate slope (2 km long) which goes through the forest, it's the longest in this part of the hill and located on the left from the lifts. The opposite slope (also intermadiate level) starts a little bit higher from the upper station of the lift ІІ, makes a loop between the trees and goes to the central part of the hill. You can go down the similar way from the upper station of the lift ІІ (you can get there from the upper station І): either go downhill on the left from the lift (there is an advanced slope) or go down an inermadiate slope on the right between the trees. In the middle part of the hill all the slopes merge and go down along the flattest part of the hill.
