This small country is mountainous landscape and excellent eco/adventure options, and its main winter resort is Popova Šapka (“Priest’s Hat”), an hour from capital city Skopje, with 20km (mi.) of slopes, nine lifts, and some excellent off-piste skiing (to access this terrain, there’s a snowcat company called Eskimo Freeride which will guide you in the trees, down sheer couloirs and through some wonderful powder bowls). The resort does have a bit of an air of having seen better days, but it’s uncrowded and prices are certainly cheap.
