More snow had fallen in the Romanian ski resorts in the last days, so the Romanian National Day week-end looks very good for the winter sports fans. More and more resorts have groomed their slopes and prepared them for the skiers, or snowboarders, here is the actual situation:

Maramures
- Borsa: 25-40 cm of snow, it looks like the slopes are in fair condition but their not been groomed yet.
- Cavnic: 50-80 cm of snow, all the slopes are opened, groomed and offer good ski conditions.
- Izvoare: 60-70 of de snow, despite the good layer of snow the slopes are still closed. Only the Poiana Soarelui slope is open, the others will open only after 1st of December.
