Hello,Anybody got any idea what runs are open now?
I heard everything but the Blacks - Does this mean the new Stoikite runs are good to go?
Cheers,

Hi RobWhen we were there last week the new runs were closed officially, our instructor, Yuli (one of the best) said they were very dangerous due to lack of snow, still got loads of debris etc sticking through & he said would need a load of snow before they were ok to do safely. There was no blacks officially open ie wall or either to side of 3man lift. Most other runs were open but did change each day, hopefully you'll get some more snow before you go !!!!

Thanks Miss Hopeful,Im heading out Saturday so hope for the best - As long as 1 run is open I will be happy
Cheers,

Thats ok RobWe were told there were only 2 runs open & the snow was rubbish. We went last week in Feb/beg of March last year & we were nearly waterskiing by the end of it so when I saw how much snow there was I was really chuffed. We skiied green run, red/blue/green run, blue mini wall (tbar), red run next to it & green from mid-ski station 2 & that kept us going for our week. Yuli made us ski like mad so I'm not complaining.
Have a great time !!!

"When we were there last week the new runs were closed officially, our instructor, Yuli (one of the best) said they were very dangerous due to lack of snow, still got loads of debris etc sticking through"What kind of debris ?
re: New Runs in Pamporovo (open?)
KenNot too sure - thats what he said & I didn't ask any further, cos if he's not prepared to ski them, then I certainly wasn't. After all they do it every day, every year & we go a few times a year (as a general rule) so I bowed to his experience.
Sorry can't help you much further.

Debris on new runs.I heard rocks, saplings and tree-roots are dotted around - Seems that route was not fully groomed before start of season.
From another tread a few have tried it but had to walk down near the bottom.

we skiied them 3 weeks ago,not groomed but plenty snow, few rocks and roots at bottom of lift to the left,but good skiing on run to the right which is flatter at the bottom,i would not recomend these runs unless you are an experienced skier at present,but when open will be great.
there was more snow on these and the red runs at the back which we also skied, than on the green run,which scared me this year and on which i fell a few times after hitting rocks and bare patches
i know its not ...
