It might still feel like autumn’s in full swing – but the first chill in the air means one thing: winter is on the way. Soon, the mountains will be blanketed in snow, and the slopes will call again. So why wait? Now’s the perfect time to prepare for the new ski season!
At Bukovel, we’re just as excited – slopes are being groomed, lifts inspected, staff trained, and the resort refreshed for your arrival. While we count down the days, here are a few simple ways to make sure you’re ready too.
Refresh your gear
Check your skis or snowboard: are the edges sharp, the base smooth? Don’t postpone maintenance until the first morning on the hill. And don’t forget the essentials – helmet, goggles, gloves, thermal wear – small details that make a big difference in comfort and safety.
Pro tip: Bukovel offers several professional rental and service shops where experts can help you prep or upgrade your gear before the season kicks off.
Train tour body
Skiing and snowboarding are demanding sports – especially after a long break. A bit of strength, flexibility, and balance training will help you avoid injuries and make those first descents pure joy.
Try this: squats, lunges, planks, and balance exercises. Ten minutes a day is all it takes for stronger, happier legs on the slopes.
Plan your winter escape
Decide when to come, what slopes to explore, and where to stay. Winter in Bukovel means variety – thrilling rides by day, SPA relaxation or cozy evenings by the fireplace by night.
Pro tip: Get your ski pass in advance to skip the queues and enjoy a smooth start to the season.
Set the mood
Preparation isn’t just about gear – it’s about the feeling. Look through your old ski photos, create a playlist for the road, and rally your friends for the first trip. Winter isn’t just cold – it’s energy, freedom, and adventure waiting to happen.
