Something clumsy and pompous!
Bukovel resembles a poorly educated offspring of wealthy parents, who doesn’t really know how to do anything, but the requests already exceed all conceivable limits. Among its advantages - only blue blood and some inclinations.
Without going into details. . .
An advanced skier in Bukovel will only be interested in 1-2 days. Although there are many trails, none of them inspires awe, like the North or the Center on Trostyan or the top of Podobovets. Like any Ukrainian ski resort, Bukovel can be traveled up and down in a day. My friend and I went for 5 days, but we only rode 3 full days, because we were tired!
Rocks on the slopes! I don’t know why they couldn’t be filled up, but there are small stones on almost any slope, even on the one where Yushchenko skated.
EVERYTHING is expensive! Starting from subscriptions (100-110 UAH / day), including food (sandwiches in fast food - 12 UAH each), rental, and ending with luggage storage (15-25 UAH). Luckily the toilets are free.
Queues for lifts. The maximum in February is 15 minutes of waiting at the 2nd and 7th lifts on weekends. They say it was much worse last year.
Transport is a terrible problem if you don’t have your own car and don’t live in Bukovel itself (and people obviously don’t live in Bukovel without a car. Have you seen their prices? ) Taxis are terribly expensive, and minibuses run rarely and not at all when needed. So standing on the highway waiting for a minibus for an hour, with skis and in the cold, is a very likely scenario for those who settled in Yaremche, Tatariv or Yablunitsa.
