Fantastic ski area with typical Spring conditions and glorious sunshine! Not all slopes open due to weather but didn't complain. Drinks cheap and food amazing! Would not regard this a beginner resort but perfect for intermediates. Most days had slopes to ourselves.

A lovely place and cosy spirit. Lovely bars, with music and pristine nature. Very nice and helpful staff. Although there was over 1 meter of snow, the slopes were full of rocks and I destroyed my skis in one week.
Slopes are nice and easy to navigate.
Not sure if I will ever return

We were amazed by how much work has been done since we last visited Jahorina. Infrastructure has been improved a lot.

We visited Jahorina for a week in the middle of March 2021. We knew that this is a very small ski resort with only 25 km of slopes, however, we expected that skiing will be ok since they hosted Olympic games in 1984. Unfortunately, we could not ski on Olympic slalom in 6 days at all and we could only ski on Olympic downhill and giant slalom for one day. The reason for closing half of ski resort from Monday to Friday was not lack of snow – there was a winter fairy tale with much more than 1 m of snow - but lower number of skiers.
Although only 3 red pistes were open during the week, there were some hours, when we enjoyed skiing, e.g. one morning we had fresh powder, however, skiing on only 3 pistes is not an option for weekly skiing holidays for advanced skier. In addition, there was extremely thick fog and strong wind at the top of both working chairlifts (Poljice and Ogorjelica I) almost all the time. Once it took us as much as 30 minutes to get to the top with the Poljica chairlift. In the meantime, it stopped at least 20 times because of the strong wind. It was frightening, since I read on TripAdvisor that Jahorina has problems with electricity in such conditions. On the contrary, closed chairlift Skocine along Olympic downhill and giant slalom had almost no wind and fog these days and skiing would be much safer there.
I e-mailed questions to OC Jahorina every day, why half the ski resort is closed. They excused themselves that the tracks were closed due to some competition, but there was definitely no competition that would last 5 days on all closed tracks. We got information from ski instructor and restaurant owner that the reason for the closure of half of the ski resort was smaller number of skiers. This was confirmed on Saturday when they opened entire ski resort as many locals came to ski. We did not ski that day anymore, as we had to travel 600 km back home.
In general, our skiing holidays was ok because Jahorina has beautiful nature, great restaurants along the slopes and also excellent hotels. All of this is also very inexpensive in comparison with the Alps. Skiing could also be ok - although ski resort is 10 or more times smaller from resorts in the Alps, where we usually spend our skiing holidays - if they only opened the whole ski area. In current conditions, I would only recommend Jahorina to beginners or families with small children. Keeping lifts and pistes closed because of smaller number of skiers is something completely unacceptable and also against the condition under which they sell ski-pass. This is something I have never seen before and I ski for a very long time and have been to more than 40 ski resorts. I’m really sorry for all hotels and restaurants, because they’re all doing very good job and could have more weekly guests, if OC Jahorina provided their services normally.

Terrible place. I'm totally disappointed. They have permanent problem with the electricity when snow falls. Open one lift on diesel, some hotels has own electricity, apartment stays without light, heating, and internet. Later, when electricity back they still didn't open any lifts. So... Olimpic Centar this is just a name. Everything close but they didn't want back money. Services, and communication with customers is simply terrible. Typical homosovseticus - if you're in holiday you cannot complain for anything. I paid full ticket for ski for few days and I didn't got any ski days, because everything was close! After big argue with directors of Olimpic Centar they have back to us 70% what we paid. Undeveloped country. Thieves!
I will not recommend for anybody this place.

Don’t go to Jahorina. Overpriced, rude and unpleasant people working at the ski facilities, trying to get money from you at every corner. Ski facilities often out of order with no explanation. Ski pass overpriced for roughly 40km of slopes. No discounts even for small kids.
Terrible experience. For this money you can get much better service and far better skiing.
Hotel was ok, good food, but kind of lonely in trying to please its guests. They charge you additional money if you want to use its spa, even though the hotel is not cheap at all. In the hotel you feel good, once you go out to ski, it is awful.
