At the beginning of the 1990s, a new ski lift was built, equipped with the Tatrapoma H 130 transport device. A new artificially lit piste with a total length of 800 meters and an elevation gain of 195 meters was created.
At the beginning of 2010, a snowmaking system was put into operation, which significantly improved the skiing conditions. Thanks to the snowmaking system, the entire piste No. 1 is covered with a continuous layer of snow.
