Traveller notes on Uludağ in May
Other months in Uludağ
Uludağ's forum calls January reliably snowy and cold, good for first-time skiers thanks to plentiful instructors and easy equipment hire. Regulars are honest that snow conditions can't be predicted far in advance — the standard advice is to decide which slopes to ski a day or two out rather than booking blind — and that late January, coinciding with school holidays, brings peak prices.
