They are preparing a slope on the lowest ski slope in Central Europe. look at
“We laid it on about ninety percent of the slope. There are still a lot of details left. We have to stack the carpets downhill and downhill or replace some bearings on the rollers. It will take us about fourteen more days, “Jaroslav Stávek, the administrator of the complex, told Deník Rovnost.
Dozens of people are involved in laying plastic. Almost thirty of them arrived on the brigade because of this. Among them are children. “They earn their fare. They are learning to do something for themselves. It has an educational character, “Stávek is convinced.
Thanks to the plastic, skiers can ride in Němčičky, even if there is no snow. This also makes the area exceptional. “It simply came to our notice then. Folding is very challenging. It gives us stability in ski courses. they learn better, there is a slower slide and they have more time to think, “the manager emphasized.
Lots of risks
Last year, according to him, the conditions were ideal for skiing, there was also a snowy slope, but due to covid restrictions, the area remained closed almost all winter. And the same complication threatens this year as well.
“We have to take a lot of risks in our business. Some blamed me for snowing unnecessarily last year. But we expected the government to allow us to open at least for the holidays. If that happened and we were unprepared, they would blame me again for not snowing, “Stávek shrugged. He plans to start the season like every season on the introductory weekend of December.
Last year, about two parents left money for a ski course. Helping operators help them survive critical moments. Donors have priority this year. “We will add the others to the deputies. We do not know what the restrictions will be. If we accepted 380 children, it would be difficult to delete them. We will take as many substitutes as the measures allow, “said Stávek.
Economist Petr Pelc is not closing the slopes this year due to a coronavirus pandemic. “I do not expect the government to limit outdoor activities. On the contrary, it can benefit them if they are internal, “he says.
Paradoxically, according to him, thanks to the new regulation, which will not pay for tests, interest in them will be significantly reduced. And as a result, the number of infected will decrease.
