Some East European tourist boards offer very limited information so euromost has provided alternative sources of information from other informative independent sites.

Many of the Eastern Europe ski resorts listed have a policy of positively welcoming families and are very accessible from capital or major cities.

The list of Central and Eastern European Skiing & Snow Boarding Ski resorts is not definitive as especially in Eastern Europe the ski industry is in international tourist terms in its infancy. Consequently prices are significantly cheaper. The downside is that these lower yields mean that investment in some facilities, especially chairs and lifts, are not as sophiscated as the better known Alpine ski resorts. This can mean queues for the same in some resorts. Another fairly common problem is that lift passes in some places are not intergrated to neighbouring slopes.
