Uludağ summary (resort name also written as Uludag)
Uludağ is the fabled Mount Olympus of Mysia. It is known in mythology as the place where the gods watched the Trojan war. It is a western extension of the Pontic mountain ranges. Its name means 'Big mountain' - the highest mountain in Western Anatolia, culminating at Kara Tepe (2543m). The ski centre, in the Uludağ National Park, is 36km south of Bursa (a city of 600,000 people) accessible, either along a sealed road, or else by a combined cable-car/bus route that may be preferable when the road is icy. The skiing at Uludağ is mostly intermediate on lightly forested slopes that are usually open from December until late March. Heli-skiing is also available and there are vast off-piste bowls to explore, albeit a threat to conservation within the national park. There are 27 hotels, 15 of which are privately owned, providing over 3000 beds at present. Further development is underway.

Visitor Reviews of Uludağ
Pete Marshall from UNITED KINGDOM writes:
Currently working in Turkey and on our 2nd trip to Uludag. Both times we have stayed at the Agaoglu Hotel which gives all inclusive board with good Turkish food and a large selection of drinks (it also has free Wifi in the rooms - as you are witnessing.). It has been renovated sometime between 08 & 09 which is good because the rooms were very tired on our first visit. Most importantly, the Agaoglu (pronounced something like 'Arollou') gives the best deal on lift passes and the best selection of ski lifts. The lift pass works out at about £4.00 per day (for 5 days) and you can get around the whole resort on the 5 lifts the ticket gives you access to. That gives you an idea of the size of the ski-area. The system of the hotels owning certain lifts at Uludağ is utterly senseless and someone needs to bang the owners heads together until they agree to form some sort of limited company and share the lifts. This is supposed to be a national park but they have allowed this feckless system to scar the mountainside by building 4 lifts from roughly the same start point to roughly the same end point. Every lift has at least one other shadowing it nearby. Someone needs shooting for that decision. Now I've got that off my chest.
The resort is about 25-30 years behind the modern European and North American resorts. Safety is typically Turkish in that it is your responsibility, not 'the managements'. However, the debarcle of a lost boarder mentioned elsewhere in this review section has obviously had some effect. We have just been refused skiing this afternoon because the military are on the slopes looking for a child who has been reported missing in the thick fog this morning.
Skiing in Uludag is comfortable. The first time you stop at a restaurant on the mountain and a man dashes out to take off your skis for you resolves to getting quite accustomed to this service. People are generally friendly and service is good. However, if you have a lot of Turkish children in your hotel at Uludağ, then may your god help you.
