Hi there to all!!

I would like to ask to everyone that might knows regarding Kozuf ski center.
I have read to Kozuf website that road is closed,is it true?
I've informed that last year road was destroyed, did they fix it?

I live at Thessaloniki, and we would like to visit Skopje ski centers. Tomorrow is holiday (Asperges of water's) and my friends and I thought that is a good oppurtunity. What do you think? Does it worth it for Kozuf, is it open for skiing?

And one more weather question has it enough snow?!!

Thanks in advanced!

Hi there.

Interesting one, and a little bit difficult.

There is road to Kuzuf but I am not sure for its condition. Not sure because, people go there, the Ski center is working, there are good critics, but on the other hand we hear informations like, it isn't completed, there should be more investments. The road is bad, or there will be built a new road. So there might be some minuses but i think it is worth visiting. It is not far from Tessaloniki, and it is good for small picnics as yours. But i suggest you to not go alone in any case. Go 2 or 3 vehicles, fully equipped for winter weather conditions. If you have SUV or some other more compatible vehicle for that kind of terrain, better. But I think you can pass with a normal car, too.

I'll give you some photos so it is yours to choose.
