This ski resort has been spoken about for some time, but its existence has remained shrouded in mystery.

However, KTLN can confirm that it is up and running, and it has lots of snow. In fact, more fresh snow was forecast for this weekend.

It is hard to imagine that as Kalkan is basking in the warmth of the winter sun, (so warm in fact that last night we heard the sound of some very early cicadas), just a short drive away, is a mountain full of snow.

Who can go?
The trip caters for everyone - from expert skiers to first timers, and even those who just want to go along and watch from a safe distance.  Please see disclaimer at the end of this article.

How much does it cost?
The costs are still being worked out, but the bus, from Volume Travel, is likely to cost somewhere in the region of 25TL per person.

An all day ski pass will cost 30TL. You can hire skis and boots for 30TL, but they don't supply any other clothing, so you need your own kit, to keep warm.

Below: The ski and boot hire is great value, but if you are on a budget, try taking a sheet of plastic.

When is the trip taking place?
Article updated: And so to the date. Well, originally Cenk was thinking about Tuesday 18th January, however, as this is the same day as the quiz, he is now considering another day - possibly Thursday 20th January. The date has been agreed - Thursday 20th January.

The bus will leave between 08.30 and 09.00 (exact time to be confirmed). There will be time to ski between 11.00 and 15.00 (approximately). The bus will set off back around 16.00, and should arrive in Kalkan around 18.00.
