Actually was skiing Zakopane in Poland and ventured into the Czech side of the Tatras. Great mountain range, maybe not big, but challenging. Lift systems are very antiquated thanks to communist rule.

Communist haven't been in charge in 20 years ...

You know, that whole thing with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the subsequent decline and break-up of the Soviet Union in the following years leading to the spread of Democracy in most of the former East Block Countries in the early 90's.
