? New snow in Borovets

According to other web cams i use there appears to be snow on the slopes Very Happy (up until yesterday the slopes were green)
However webcam for this site shows none Sad
And forcasts would suggest the next week or so can see more snow! Very Happy (Taken from this site)
Anyone out there with acurate details (Kas!)

You have to click on the image to see the live camera. The picture of a green/brown slope is not live.

It's just beautiful!

Yesterday I went up to the top with the gondola and where you get off Markudji 1 drag lift and ski down, on the left side they have built a fence to stop the snow being blown away. If you look on the Bulgariaski site it does mention this and it is reffered to as ' a snow retention device '"
