Sviyaga Hills — Attraction in Введенско-Слободское сельское поселение

I have never been skiing before but wanted to try something new. First time was ok slightly expensive. It seems like options change depending on who is helping you... The second time it was worse coming here. As expected the Staff don't speak English. The one restaurant was shut so had to eat at the more expensive place although the service was slow the food was good. However the slow service ate into our ski time. They charge per hour which is hectic also the beginner ski slopes need a special pass which we didn't get because it wasn't sold to us by the lady helping us despite the fact that we told her I was a beginner. So we paid for a ski lift pass we couldn't use and didn't have access to the beginner area. The other easy slope is actually too long and tiring for a real beginner. When we returned the ski equipment a bit late because of having to walk up and down we were charged for another 2 hours of use which made this a very expensive experience.

The staff is true Soviet-style, very rude. The whole place seems to have been built by local authorities for showing off how "European" they are to high-rank guests from Moscow and abroad.

All this right in front of the eyes of the person who was in charge of the place. When I asked her politely if she considered just opening the boom gate she replied: "If l see need for this, I'll do it". Then she left without waiting for my reply. The slopes are ok, just mind that they are shorter than the owners state. Also, the area is very exposed and it tends to be quite windy, especially when you're...

Very limited food options, take your own food with you! You may find that many things are closed and the best food at half pie is for the staff that work there, not the guests. No Swedish table as promised online for breakfast, they just put it on a plate for you and you heat it up yourself in the microwave oven that is available in the restaurant. The ski pass is only good for certain areas and not others, snow tubing is separate which is a little inconvenient. Some of the lifts may not be working and wrap up warm, it can be cold when in the wind. The Prices are quite reasonable, but the management needs some work. Ski instructors are good and the little shop was a life-saver. We came off peak to avoid the crowds, I'd hate to see what it's like when things...
