Trostyan mountain
Still during the times of occupation by Poland there was a ski lift on the mountain. As a pulling power was used a pare of horses. Probably it was the most economically efficient ski lift that was working on four cups of barley per day. Hence later the horses were changed to a diesel motor. At that time Trostyan mountain was mentioned by some ski lovers who took their skies to their arms and go up the mountain during half of the day with the purpose to make one way down.
In the middle of 60-ties of previous century two enthusiasts of skiing came there. It was some diplomatic coworker Pankiv, who was the representative of USSR in one of the Scandinavia countries and his friend with double education in law and physical training. The latter was the one who made unknown mountain one of the best ski resort area in the whole Union.
