Fortunately, we have reached a good point in terms of both artificial snow and the quality of the runway that we have opened as of December. Some open areas were also repaired with the falling snow, and ski lovers are again engaged in a full and exciting skiing activity in Erciyes. As it is known, we continue to host guests from countries such as Poland, Russia and Czechia with charter planes that started to arrive in our city as of December. Of course, after the earthquake we experienced in our country, there was a serious decrease in demand, especially in the domestic market. There was a serious decrease in the domestic market due to the demoralization and lack of motivation of the people and the problems of the people in the earthquake zones. Our foreign guests and those who come to Cappadocia, especially our guests from countries such as the Far East and Latin America, now definitely stop by Erciyes. At least they are spending a day here. Here they are sledding, skiing, playing snowball, and from here they go to Cappadocia. Therefore, we have achieved the integration of Cappadocia, Erciyes and Kayseri in a very efficient way in recent years.” Cıngı said that they expect the season to continue until the end of April and said, "We expect that we will extend our season until the end of April, with the snow that will fall in the coming days here. All our runways are open now. Our skiers can continue their skiing activities with pleasure on all our tracks, including the connecting tracks from Develikapı to Hacılarkapı. Therefore, the season is currently in full swing in Erciyes. Hopefully, until the end of April, ski lovers will continue to have pleasant moments in Erciyes."
