From the very beginning:
- my wife and I chose this hotel for the following reasons: the shortest distance to the ski lift, reasonable prices (a simple 2-bed room - 150 UAH per person with 2 meals a day) and discounts on the ski lift and equipment rental);
- the room was ordered 2 weeks in advance, by phone, from Nadezhda Romanovna. We arrived at the place late, in the first hour of the night, but they met us, put us in a room, gave us hot tea, which, after such an extreme as the road to Dragobrat, was not superfluous at all. During the week that we lived there, it was never (! ) cold, the toilets were clean, the showers had hot water without interruption;
- service staff: Natasha is an administrator (she is also a maid, she is also a waiter), it is through her efforts that the hotel is not just clean, but comfortable, which you will never achieve if you do not treat your work with soul;

Anya is a cook (God bless her and have a good fiancé! ). While we were resting there, the dishes for breakfast and dinner were never repeated! Quality - some restaurants nervously smoke in the corner. Portions - for a hefty man, after he loaded coal all day. When we left, she wrapped a pie for us on the path (which moved me to tears! ).
the guys on the lifts - and they will put a "mop" under the ass, and push it so that there is no jerk if you are a beginner;
instructors - basically put on skis those who are the first time. It is understandable: the price of education is biting. However, according to my observations, they do not eat their bread in vain: after the first day, people quite confidently drive in a plow and “sit down” on a lift.
general impression: modest, unobtrusive, hard-working people who conscientiously do their job.
I can consider myself a skier - a dinosaur (25 years is a term! ). I had to sleep on bunks for 14 people, and drown snow instead of water, and a toilet "to the wind" - 50 meters away. But I rode in the Pamirs at night, under the moonlight, squealing with happiness, catching a real firn, when even a beginner gets a real cut turn, and I felt like a bird when riding on bottomless snow! And you can believe me: compared to THIS, some kind of European service is there... a necessary thing, of course, but still, this is not why people go to the mountains in winter!
In conclusion, I want to ask: why are you going to the mountains? If for Alpine Skiing (that's right - with a capital letter! ), Then you - here.
