FAKE SKI-PASSES ALERT!

Dear friends,

We are forced to alert you of continuous cases of ski-pass trickery in TC “Bukovel”.

Fake ski-passes are being sold directly on the slopes as well as through specialized websites and forums. Generally, people get attracted by lower prices, compared to those our online shop and authorized vendors provide. Clearly, nearly all those cheap ski-passes are counterfeits, providing absolutely no passing rights to their owners. The problem is that a fake ski-pass can be clearly identified only by employees of the resort.

As you well know, it’s possible to track the status of any ski-pass on “Bukovel” website. This is the background for a popular trick. Before handing a card to a buyer, deceiver asks them to make sure they're holding a genuine ski-pass. Such scheme is possible because the number of a fake key card is that of a valid ski-pass. That means the number itself is genuine, not the card. Another common trick is that fake ski-passes are being sold in bundles, together with valid ones.

Remember, only by buying from our authorized vendors or online shop can you guarantee, that you’ll get a genuine ski-pass and protect yourself from losing money.

Note, that by using or distributing counterfeit ski-passes, willingly or not, you're taking part in illegal actions, which entail legal consequences. This includes any exchange attempts of a fake ski-pass, for a real one – in our ticket offices. Pay attention to this when considering buying any ski-pass with suspicious history. The administration carries no responsibility for any property losses, caused by usage of counterfeit or expired ski-passes.

We highly recommend that you always keep your pay bills when booking ski-passes. In case of a loss, those will be the only proof for you to restore your card in any pay office of the resort. Also, ski-pass restoration procedure  is available online, subject to application from buyers themselves.

Have a safe and smooth ride!

The country of “Bukovel” welcomes you.
