Pamps Snow Cannons

Hi y'all.

Some of you will remember that due to a dispute the lake at Pamps was drained which provided the water for the snow cannons. Does anyone have any news regarding this issue being resolved or otherwise.
Cheers

I hope they do resolve it. They pushed on last seasonwith the permanent snow cannon on the lamp-post like poles down the runs - would be a shame to see them wasted.

Pamporovo is too far behind the other resorts. Needs to hurry up with the technology it needs to keep ruinning, glad i didnt go the last 2 years with how little snow fall there was, reminds me of the 1st year i went when there was onli 20 cm of snow, like skiing on ice! bwt time the did something drastic to sort this.

I did notice a few new cannons and it looks like we've got a few more KMs and a new 6 seater lift for this season so... any news anyone regarding the dispute with the lake owner Smile

Have a good weekend, I'm off to the pub Booze

It really needs the cannons working. I would never go back there unless this dispute was sorted. It's far to low a resort not to have snow making and unfortunately they seem to be taking advantage of first time skiers who don't know about the problem.

re: Pamps Snow Cannons

I saw the new cannons working last year, the ones at the bottom of the wall were working and another further up. Don't know where they were fed from tho?

Cool
