Slovak Ski Museum in Podkonice

Museum & Gallery

The Slovak Ski Museum in Podkonice is a unique museum showcasing skis, some of them being more than 100 years old. Similar museums can only be found in the United States of America and in Finland, thus it is the third of its kind in the world.

The museum houses 600 exhibits including skis, ski sticks, 80 pieces of ski boots, otable trophies from ski competitions as well as photo documentation. Individual exhibits are situated in three rooms: wooden room - its peculiar name indicates it only contains wooden skis, some of them beeing a hundred years old or even older, competition room - with ski equipment of prominent Slovak and foreign skiers, and the amateur room. There is a vaulted rock-wall room in the basement, with exhibits that are more than 100 years old, explaining how people in Slovakia started using sliding in the snow ("krnačky" - sledge used for timber transport and snow shoes). A deposit containing more than 100 exhibition items is stored in the attic.

Outside the museum building, there is an open-air ski lift and ski tow museum with notable exhibits that a few years ago used to serve for transporting skiers and tourists in the High Tatras, Low Tatras, Veľká Fatra, Malá Fatra and Slovenské rudohorie Mts.
