I've heard it is full of very rich mafia-like Eastern Europeans, and consequently, quite expensive.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation! -

We had a great time last year in Steibis which similarly seems to be not known about outside of Germany. Some of the best groomed slopes I've ever been on.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I am not very good so it will be OK for me,
About $800 for double room for 5 nights at the slopes as well as $110 for ski pass for 5 days.
Looks quite affordable or am I a total novice?There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to thinkComment

OK, so what I heard about the expense was wrong. Seems quite reasonable.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Fair enough. I'm just prejudiced against the Ukraine. Probably unfairly soOriginally posted by sunnysan View Post
I would still say you can get more for less in Bulgaria or the Pyrenees, maybe even the smaller Italian resorts.
Is $800 per person, or per room, and does it include food?
For comparison our catered chalet just outside Meribel at New Year is £500 ish each.
Also consider if you'll be able to get instruction in a language you understand. If you don't read cyrillic it can be quite a draining experience even just finding a Pectopah."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

я говарию чут чут по-Русски и моя жена из Беларусси. я магу читать тоже.
I can get by enough to understand when I am being shafted
.
My spoken russian probably sounds like the equivalent of a car being crushed but its OK.
As far as I can see the rate is for bed and breakfast.
There are 3 "ресторана" there, and to be fair I would hazard a guess that the prices will be outrageous

My Russian is now complete rubbish (it only ever rose to the level of utter rubbish) but it does help when you can understand the words foreigner and money being used in front of you

Western Ukraine is not particularly fond of Russians, probably because they were starved to death by the communists in 30s - 6-7 mln dead or so.
