Many thanks to my mate Mete for sending me the photos. Seems there is life in them there hills after all - let's hope things continue to progress, a winter tourism business is the one single thing that will benefit the Fethiye area the most:

are these the mountains not from sakilkent gorge?
We once ourselves found ourselves there one May, parts of the moutain around us were still covered in snow and the locals in the winter coats scarfs ect, while we were in our shorts and flip flops.
There was what looked like a new big wooden built cafe/restraunt but no signs of life.

We went up to the top of eren a couple of years ago and there was quite a big building which would make a big cafe etc is this now up and running?

Went today. Only a handful of folk there on the smallest learners area I have ever seen. Lifts weren't working but they would have turned them on if we'd wanted. 15tl for the use of lift all day. Piste basher there but not used correctly and no defined pistes. The path of the lift looked very bumpy and steep and even though we are experienced skiers we declined to go up. Eric walked half way and skied down but said it was very soft and not much fun.
We chatted to someone working there and he said that if you go to the top of the lifts and then drop over the back to the right there is a 2.5km run but the conditions of it, in his words were ...not good.
With a lot more investment it could be a good area but it needs higher lifts, someone who knows how to create runs and also use the piste basher, as that's what it's there for!
We will try again after we have had lots more rain so that the snow conditions are better and they might have created some decent but short runs.
Good for snowboarders as lots of nice areas and also good for the kids and sledges.
Coffee 4tl.
Equipment was all Atomic and brand spanking new but not huge quantities and didn't ask prices.
Took 1.15 hours to get there from Uzumlu. The road/track was cleared but in places icy so make sure you have your snow chains just in case.
If millions were pumped into this "resort" (how they dare call it that is laughable)it could be a big ski area but knowing how long this has taken so far I can't see it happening in the near future.
There are rooms above the restaurant but when we looked up from the outside they were only plywood exterior walls...brrrrrr
We were dissapointed but we are experienced skiers so used to proper ski resorts and safe runs but a learner might find it fun.
