3 out of 20 pistes are open!!

I am planning to go to Borovets for the weekend but today I see that only 3 pistes are open! Is it too crowdy? Will I ask my travel agent to book me at Bansko where more pistes are open? Confused

I don't know...I will ask my travel agent tomorrow, since I don't want to spent my ski holidays without skiing Smile. I can see at snow-forecast.com there will be some snow on Friday night...will that help to open another 3-5 pistes?

if they can get some colder temps to use cannons and get few cm from natural snow whole resort shud open up and be less crowded

if u can ski reds then lots of reds are open

i feel sorry for people learning who need greens and easy blues i like blues more but will concentrate hard and do the reds!!!

I can assure you that people are not being bussed from Bansko to Borovets. The conditions in Bansko are the best in Bulgaria.
