New Year Week

Looking at booking a weeks skiing for New Year, but was wondering if there would be enough snow.

We booked for Borovets this half term but changed to Bansko at the last minute as we were all beginers and Borovets looked bleak. Next year we can't do half term so the only other option is new year. Most reports I've read had said you cannot rely on the weather, but most archive webcams show snow at the end of the year.

So hoping for some help, should i book and hope, or should i look at a French resort that has more chance of snow. The only other alternative is leaving it late, but then the flights are much higher in price, and accomodation booked up.

re:New Year Week

Hi Tony,

The snow is unreliable during this period.Two years ago i booked with crystal ski a week before i went and got a deal for my wife , son and I for £840 for transfers, half board at the ELA Hotel and flights, I much prefer arranging all myself but could not compete on that price.

Hope this helps
John, Cheryl and James

If you are all beginners then you should be fine so long as the resort you choose has adequate artificial snow making equipment - just in case the natural stuff is a little late in coming.
