The peaks above Bovec are usually well covered with snow in December and this is the time when the long skiing season begins on Mt. Kanin, the only ski center in Slovenia that can boast ski slopes above 2,000 m.
Kanin is a typical Alpine ski center: due to the altitude, the pistes seldom freeze, offering quality skiing on exclusively natural powder snow during most of the winter and enabling skiing far into the spring, very often up to the first half of May.
