Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi ya,

Apologies for the delay on the weather today- really busy with work.

No change from yesterday as not enough snow to open any more runs... Actually, the only change is that Rila cannons are now working in addition to the Yastrebets ones. On Yastrebets, it is beautiful blue skies and sunshine, but at resort level (Rila) it is very misty. So...as before:
Yastrebets 2 and 3 open and very good conditions
Gondola open for walkers and to ski down to Yastrebets although still have to go careful and avoid all the rocks...hence free shuttle buses still running to the 4 man chair.
Rila drags open but the one next to yanakiev is shut.
Sitnyakovo Express open again for walkers only.
All Markudjik slopes are still closed...
Advice - we mentioned this to some people in the resort yesterday, but if you haven't got your lift pass yet, don't buy a full pass unless there is more snow. If you take the free shuttle to the 4man chair, you can buy AT the 4 MAN CHAIR a pass for 25 lev which covers the yastrebets runs. Lots of people are buying a day's pass (55lev) going up in the gondola, skiing to yastrebets and then staying on the yastrebets runs all day because the snow down to there is rubbish and they will only do it the once...so they are paying an extra 30lev for 1 short run down to the Yastrebets runs...

Anyway, hope that helps!
