Зимняя сказка winter fairy tale

We rested in Uludag this winter (2010), for Christmas from January 3 to January 10!
I want to note right away that before that, for 3 years in a row, we went by car to the Czech Republic and Poland (Zakopane). But since this year we opted for Turkey, 2 hours in the summer and here we are in Bursa, but the snow is not very much! Jokes have begun, from the series we will ride on the grass)). We were met by a guide, seated on the bus and reassured that everything would be fine with snow, they say, wait until we climb the mountains! And he didn't cheat! The higher we climbed, the more and more snow became! An hour drive and here it is a winter fairy tale! With the weather calmed down and now looked out for our hotel! The hotel was chosen by Karina 4 *! Well, here it is our house for the next week! Besides us, there were many people who also went to this hotel. And they were not mistaken, the hotel is cool, there is everything for the rest of both skiers and sympathizers)) - swimming pool, spa center, bars, disco (super!! )
As always, Turkey is Turkey! Bribes with its "all inclusive"! You can't ride like that in Europe! And here you pay for everything at once and rest yourself in peace! Lifts are free!!! , food - I don't want to eat all day long! The food is varied: salads, chicken, meat, fruits (apples, oranges) and of course your favorite sweets!

Most of all I liked that the hotel has access directly to the ski lifts! You don’t need to drag your skis anywhere, you get out, or rather you leave the rental room immediately to the ski lift! In total, there are 7 lifts in the 2nd zone, of varying difficulty!
The equipment is paid! Has a storage room
Of course, equipment rental is paid and in the 2nd zone it is more expensive! But at the same time, all the equipment is new! On the way back on the plane, we talked with the guys who lived in Caravanserai (1st ski area), their rental came out cheaper, but the skis were old!
The guide said that Karina is famous for her ski instructors! But we didn't check it, because we've been skiing for years! I advise everyone to ride a snowmobile - it's such a thrill! pleasure costs 90 dollars (fits 2-3 people)
I also wanted to say a few words about the room... very comfortable, warm and homely, large in size, the only negative is that there is no safe in the room, only at the reception (free of charge)
In general, I want to say that I did not expect that in Turkey you can have such a good rest in winter! This trip left a warm impression! Perhaps this winter we will fly there too)). Since it is very convenient, a direct flight certainly captivates!
