That's what happened last season for the big race (whatever it was). Coupled with poor snow it meant the best part of half the mountain was out of action.

Tomba will be closed for about 3 weeks before the racere: fis race bansko
So, one quarter of the season. That's going to piss a lot of people offre: fis race bansko
it is on the 7th and 8th marchre: fis race bansko
The race is on the 17-20 of febI imagine they will close off the tomba for a good 3 weeks prior. They water the piste to creat a hard snow pack. It would be scary as hell to ski down that.
It's a bit of a pain but at least the Chalin Valog area is open-as of last season. The runs there are excellent and very often quieter.
Still plenty to ski.
re: fis race bansko

re: fis race bansko
That was last years race, hence march 2008.That race was a warm up for 2009. The race in 2009 is as i posted above (taken from teh FIS website).
I agree it is a shame. However, as I said before the runs at Chalin valog are equally as challenging. The black to the left of the chairlift as you come down is probably the most difficult in the resort IMO.
