when did season start in 2007 in Bansko?

Hello all,
I'm coming over on 13th Dec, and i'm a little concerned that there might not be any snow!!??
when did it all kick off last year?
i don't want my first snowboarding holiday to be a disaster!!!

Thanks, Kerry.

it snowed in november last year, Bansko was due to open 15th dec but opened early. I skied in another bulgarian resort on17th november.

however the year before it never snowed until 10th december, but then there was loads of snow.
