snow on it, but without the cannons what are the chances this time round?

Is it me or without the cannons would this resort be open? As the town looks dry as a bone and the surrounding plains too.

I like to quench my thirst at the bars and other dipping joints.... but a man can run dry if there's little snow to put his fire out and
then need some more warming. So I need both options you see. It's not a lot to ask is it?

So there we go ,simple can this place be for me or am I due to drift.

Hey freedomflight, the masala pathway is a cracking run, a good long blast to finish the day off. A good dump of snow should have it running , often when they say it's "closed" can mean it could actually be the best run on the resort if there's been a dump. The forecast looks promising for the next week, and with an exchange rate of 2.59lev -£ what's not to like!

its fair to say only the markudjik runs and haramia down to about halfway station would be open without cannons but they have got cannons so nearly all the rila runs are open too and yestrebets 3 and popangelov. theres enough open at the moment to have a good ski but obviously a nice dump of snow would open up the closed runs and it would be perfect . i think the problem with the musala is that its basically a narrow single track road for most of the way so it woulkd be mega expensive to ...

is a nice long run when it's open though :-)

The Mussala Path way, is as the name says a hiking Path! It was tried to build a Ski run out, because the bulgarian skiers User the Path in good condition as a fast way down.

It needs a lot of snow and deep temps to open it yet. It was a Path and is it, that they try to make a Ski run
