点评:Just returned from a great Cat-skiing trip out to the Shar mountains with Shar outdoors (SO). We had never cat-skied before and wanted to check out what this would be like. Everything was arranged by email and Whatsapp with Mihail from SO who was super friendly, knowledgable and an all round good guy. He even arranged a taxi transfer from Sofia for us. We stayed in the Hotel Scardus ( in a new annex next to the hotel), the rooms were clean and comfortable and a 20 yard walk to the hotel. The hotel had great food and wine - all Macedonian and of a very good standard. The hotel is modern but has a local feel to it ( one thing to note for those of us from the EU/Uk is that smoking is allowed indoors - remember that from times gone by??!!) and acted as a very good base - the catskiing is from right outside the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us.
The Shar outdoors team were great - we hired skis - Elan Ripsticks which were spot on - the tech guy was brilliant, guides all knowledgable about there area. The area is big and beautiful. They did a great job in trying to find the best snow - there had been no fresh for 2 weeks so variable (freeze/thaw/spring-like) conditions but they really did get the best out of the mountain ( the trip is best viewed as a free-ride experience rather than purely powder) but then it snowed last 2 days and the experience got even better - never skied the same line twice, new runs each time with pick up /drop off in the Cat. We skied with many nationalities and groups got on really well.
very good overall experience and would recommend to anyone thinking about trying Cat-served freeride.
Thanks to the SO team and staff at Scardus hotel.
翻译:刚刚结束了在 Shar 山脉的一次很棒的雪地摩托滑雪之旅,Shar outdoor (SO) 也参与其中。我们之前从未玩过雪地摩托滑雪,想试试看会是什么样的。一切都通过电子邮件和 Whatsapp 与来自 SO 的 Mihail 安排好了,他非常友好、知识渊博,是个非常好的人。他甚至为我们安排了从索非亚出发的出租车接送。我们住在 Hotel Scardus(在酒店旁边的新附楼中),房间干净舒适,步行 20 码即可到达酒店。酒店的食物和葡萄酒很棒 - 全部是马其顿风味,而且质量非常好。酒店很现代,但又带有当地风情(对于我们这些来自欧盟/英国的人来说,有一点需要注意,那就是室内允许吸烟 - 还记得过去的时光吗?!)并且酒店是一个很好的基地 - 雪地摩托滑雪就在酒店外面。酒店工作人员非常友好,为我们提供了无微不至的照顾。
Shar 户外团队很棒 - 我们租了滑雪板 - Elan Ripsticks,非常准确 - 技术人员很棒,导游都对该地区了如指掌。该地区很大,风景优美。他们在寻找最好的雪方面做得很好 - 已经 2 周没有新雪了,所以条件变化多端(冻结/融化/像春天一样),但他们确实充分利用了山上的最佳条件(这次旅行最好被视为自由滑雪体验,而不是纯粹的粉雪),但后来过去 2 天下雪了,体验变得更好 - 从来没有两次滑过同一条路线,每次都有新的滑道,在 Cat 上接送。我们与许多国籍的人一起滑雪,而且团体相处得非常好。
总体体验非常好,推荐给任何想尝试 Cat 服务的自由滑雪的人。
感谢 SO 团队和 Scardus 酒店的员工。
