Went to KG (Kranjska Gora) over new year 2012-13. Hadn't snowed for 3 weeks and they had a rain storm the week previous so not pretty, no snow off-piste but they do know how to keep the piste in good condition.
Limited runs but some of the runs are short but great fun, fast and icy, home runs and lifts busy but others away from ski school are empty and fast.
Ski school people are great and very friendly but the process for getting small beginner children up more than a few feet is done by side stepping. So children, on their first week, will be put off or learn next to nothing. Children on their second week will get the button and have a fair area to ski if they have private lessons. Those in second week ski school will be side stepping most of the week and not improve, so mums and dads need to get them up the hill.
This is a lovely town and the bar Kekec at the bottom of the chair is great for lunch and Bombardinos. We stayed in Hotel Alpina which, as far as ski hotels go, was great and the food pleantiful and varied.
Hotel bar closed at 10.30pm which is a bit early if you are housebound with kids, though kept our bar tab down below 1300euro!! for 3 small families (lots of Baileys and ice!)
Alpina is 'ski to the door' only with snow in the carpark. No effort to push snow or provide mats when the snow is poor so the first 75 yards is a treacherous walk with kids beginners and equipment!
Compact which is great for sort of non skiers, nice people.
We have skied all over Europe. Would we go back to KG? Yes, for many reasons, but be careful of the snow conditions, it's a very low resort and not very far east.
Rental skis were brand new and well maintained.
Good value for money.
The week after we came home it snowed for a week and looked great but I preferred our week of 'warm and fast', night skiing every night which my leg and arm in plaster right now will testify!
