Donovaly Park Snow

I suggest renting your gear in advance if you can, it saves you time in long lines at the rental shops. Plus, you can compare prices online before you arrive.

My suggestion is to explore the nearby hiking trails when the slopes get crowded. It's a quieter, beautiful way to appreciate the scenery without waiting in line.

If you can, go on weekdays instead of the weekend. The slopes are way less crowded, and you’ll have a more relaxing experience skiing or snowboarding.

I recommend checking the weather before you go. Some days are way better than others for skiing and snowboarding and you want to hit the slopes on the best day!

I'd recommend snagging a multi-day ski pass if you plan to stay a few days. It saves you a good chunk of change, and you get to explore more of the slopes. Totally worth it!

Don't forget to check the weather in advance! I got caught on a cloudy day, and it really impacted visibility. Clear days are a game changer for the whole experience.

I suggest taking the cable car first thing, then heading to the highest peak. It’s a stunning view and not too many people up there that early—perfect for some great photos!

If you're renting equipment, try to go on a weekday. The weekend crowds can make getting gear really slow and chaotic.

Don't miss the food at the lodge! The goulash was out of this world and not too pricey compared to some other ski resorts.

If you're thinking about night skiing, bring a headlamp with you. It was super fun, but navigating the last run back was a bit sketchy without extra light!

My advice is to rent your equipment from the shops in town instead of the slopes. It's usually cheaper, and there's more variety. I ended up with gear that was just okay.

I recommend hitting the slopes by 9 am. The morning runs are less crowded and the conditions are way better. Later in the day, it got super busy, so I wish I had gotten up earlier!

I suggest you try to book your lift tickets online in advance. It saves you a lot of time queuing and sometimes you'll even score a little discount! I missed that chance and spent ages in line.
