That sounds a lot.

The baggage is the killer on the RyanAir flights. £50 each way for a snowboard bag!! Combine bags and travel light.

One interesting thing I noticed with RyanAir: if you book flights separately then the return flight is charged in euros, not pounds.
So they only charge 50 euros for the snowboard bag which is about £42 at the mo.

They were Easyjet flights £145 + £50 carriage. We wouldn't even look at the Ryanair Edinburgh to Bratislava flight due to the late arrival and then having to get a train. Waaay too much hassle for us.

Fair enough Sam. It's a chance for us to go to a resort before the Crystal/Inghams crowds start doing it. I think a bit of hassle is to be expected really. The journey is all part of the fun Very Happy

The off-piste and the trees are the main attraction of Jasna. That and the 1 Euro beers, the attractive ladies, and the amazing array of bad jumpers that the Slovak men wear...

It's cheap, a great all-round hill and LOTS of easy access off-piste...

Plenty of great riding, guiding, grub and beers without the hefty Alp pricetag.

From next season we will be running transfers to and from Krakow for £40 return per person to make it that little bit less hassle....

sounds a good idea.. transfers are always costly and in some cases will put people off.

very true, hence we want to make it easier until the Poprad airport flights come back (25 minutes away)..... despite fuel and cars being the same price as in the rest of Europe here, we are subsidising the transfers to make sure they are still cheap, despite it being the same distance as most french transfers that are £95 return

snowbadger: the company recommended on Propaganda's website http://www.tatratransport.com/ say Krakow transfers "from €120" (their booking system is broke so I couldn't get a more accurate price) - so it's only really economical if you are in a big group.

The train from Bratislava is €18 for "first class" and €12 second class. Very Happy

Yeah, more than we wanted to pay. Okay if you can split it between a few of you though I guess (not sure if they have a per-head price)

Just take the train. That's what we are doing.
I'd rather spend 3 hours on a train than in a car/minibus anyway.
usually more legroom and I like being able to get up and go for a walk/slash/drink.

Looks like there is a bit too much snow in some parts of Slovakia:
