The meeting was decided to take place in Karpenisi Ski Resort.
Karpenisi is a small ski resort in mid-Greece.
The village is very nice. Among forest, with nice view to the surroundings mountais, excellent scenery, nice traditional hotels etc.
Generally nice place...The ski resort is from 1.800 till 2.200 high (almost), over tree lines. It is a snow - bucket and usually has enough snow. During the days we were there the snow was almost 70-80 cm, today almost 2m. with snowstorms that keeps the resort closed. The official site mentions that the snow cover the lifts...(God knows if its true)
The temperature was always around -5 to -8 and the weather was pretty nice...sunshine...
Not so many people because of traffic problems with farmers strike (
)So the map
The problem with the resort is that they dont care about it.
During our stay only the platelift works the first day...a small slope,near 500 m.
The second date, the same... they opened one chairlift at 13.00...just one....
So while i was waiting to take the lift, the staff of the resort told us, that we have to leave one chair, and take the next...every one....not take every chair, because they didnt know if the rope will hold the chairs if it works with 100% capacity...so we have to leave the 50% of the chairs empty...
of course, after that, i take my board, my wife and go home...never again in this resort...too bad...a nice place, a nice resort, but not so nice (or clever?) people...
a few pics will follow...
). Probably will be a great experience.
