We have been to Zakopane three times for skiing. The first time was a good few years ago. But latterly, Christmas/New Year 14/15 and 15/16. Snow was a bit hit and miss. But with the snow machines running, there was enough for us. We are not experienced skiers, and don't need black runs. We are returning again. But this time will be in March 2017, when we hope there will have been more time for the snow to fall and settle. We will wait and see. :) But we love it there. We tend to go to Szymoszkowa, and at times the bottom ski lift can be busy. We hire our skis and boots on an hourly basis and there are several ski hire cabins very close to the ski lift; so very easy. We love it there. As some other posters have said, really it would be nice if the place stayed less touristy and unspoilt.
