Board Chairman and General Manager Dr. Murat Cahid Cıngı accompanied Mayor Özhaseki. Stating that he tries to be in Erciyes whenever he finds the opportunity on the weekends, Mayor Özhaseki said, “I try to follow how busy it is, if there are any shortcomings, if the citizens have any complaints. Murat Cahid Cıngı and I devoted ourselves to Erciyes and worked hard. Thank God, we are getting what we paid for.” Stating that Erciyes is one of the hottest mountains of this year, Mayor Mehmet Özhaseki said, “Although there has been a lot of negative news from other ski resorts, there has not been a single negative news from Erciyes. Besides, since we did not start advertising much in the media, a storm did not blow in our favor, but we received messages from everyone who came here saying, 'We did not know that Erciyes was this beautiful, that the tracks were dense, that the facilities were completely modern, that it was the only ski resort prepared with a European mentality, but now we see it.' This made us extremely happy," he said.
President Özhaseki stated that there was a great intensity during the semester break, and that nearly 15 thousand people came to Erciyes within 500 days. Emphasizing that half of those who come from Kayseri are from outside, President Özhaseki said, “It was a great crowd, a great movement and abundance. Praise be to Allah, it is a good season. Erciyes will continue to be the special symbol of Kayseri from now on. ” said.

Burak Turgut stated that he found Erciyes very beautiful and said that he did not see any shortcomings when compared to abroad.
