Artūras Bielskus, the head of Liepkalnis 15 minutes He said he was pleased that “common sense has prevailed and will allow action.” He said the tracks have been ready since last Thursday and Friday. However, as it was not clear when the decision would be made, the search for personnel began only after learning of the government’s decision to allow the ski resorts to operate from Tuesday.
“It just came to our notice then. Because we didn’t know whether or not it would allow an action, we were unable to perform that search. A few minutes ago we found out and started looking for employees. As soon as we gather staff, as quickly we will try to open. We will try If not fully open, at least as many employees as we have, “he said.

How long does it take to find employees? A. Bielskus couldn’t say. “We are doing everything possible,” he said, adding that a total of 30 to 40 people are being sought.
The flows will definitely not be the usual ones. They will be about 3 times smaller.
According to A. Bielskaus, the intention is to regulate the flows by selling tickets online. The specific time, time and time of skiing will also be indicated.
“We will calculate and observe according to the loads, but the flows will definitely not be the usual ones. They will be about 3 times smaller,” he explained.
Ski resorts located in the province complain of movement restrictions
Bronislav Cicėnas, director of the Lithuanian Winter Sports Center in Ignalina, also positively assessed the government’s decision to allow the outdoor ski centers to operate from Tuesday.
However, B. Cicėnas is concerned that the ban on moving between municipalities means that ski resorts located in smaller cities may not receive customers.

“We made this decision positively, because we were both prepared and we were hopeful, but we are very concerned that it will not allow us to move between municipalities. It will be normal for Vilnius, it will have clients, and in Ignalina … People from Visaginas and Utena are calling, if people cannot come from other places, then there are not enough people in Ignalina to carry the ski center. Here it is the same that one shoe gives and does not give another “., – 15 minutes B. Cicėnas regretted.
“Maybe we will gather 20 to 30 people in a couple of hours and our epic will end,” he added.
Maybe we will gather 20-30 people in a couple of hours and our epic will end.
B.Cicėnas believes that the flow will increase unless people arrive with land and other properties in the Ignalina district, but not many are expected. According to him, other owners of ski resorts located in the province, for example in the Plungė district of Mount Marta, see the same problem.
During the Government meeting on Monday, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė emphasized that the ski centers will only be able to serve those clients who live in the same municipality where the center is located due to movement restrictions between municipalities.
When the Ignalina ski resort receives a green light from the government, it will also take several days to prepare it: set up a snowboard park, prepare the lifts, check everything and think about how to sell tickets electronically. B.Cicėnas hopes to receive help from Liepkalnis on this last issue.
A cross-country ski trail will also open in Ignalina.
Snow Arena: We will see if we do not violate the conditions of the Government
It is true that this government decision only applies to centers with outdoor ski slopes. Aivaras Kadziauskas, director of Druskininkai Snow Arena, pointed out that the center has two slopes: closed all year and open air.
“There are always opportunities, we will discuss with the lawyers if we will actually violate the quarantine conditions so that we can implement outdoor skiing. The problem is that the elevator is inside the track. But we have the opportunity to close the internal route, elevator to elevator. We’ll see if we can accept guests. We can control the flows, we can sell the tickets, ”he explained.
According to A. Kadziauskas, the arena is ready to open its doors “even today”. However, it must first be verified whether the company will not violate the requirements established by the Government.
“I cannot say exactly how long we will find out. We will try to see and make a decision as soon as possible,” he said.
