For winter sports, there is a ski resort in the Carpathian Mountains, not far from Uzhgorod. The Krasiya Ski Resort is only 27 miles from Uzhgorod, near Kostrino on the Polish border. The resort is one of the more developed in Zakarpattia, with one chair lift 1.55 miles long, and 6 tow lines. The mountain has a verticle drop of 1314 feet (compare to vertical drop of 750 feet at Holiday Valley). Krasiya has the longest run in the Ukraine at 2.17 miles. An all day lift ticket is about $25, and a single ride on the lift can be bought for about $3-4. Rental equipment is available for about $12 a day. Accomodations are available; rooms at the resort start at $25. There are also cottages for rent in nearby Vyshka village for around $50-$75 a night.
Other sites to see near Krasiya are a wooden church in Vyshka, the Michaelovska Church, built in the 1700's. There are also thermal springs nearby, marble caves in Kniganiya, and wine tasting at a local winery.
