A RE-ASSURING WEATHER POSTING

Ever the optimist I know, but I would like to quell the fears of you guys going soon who may be concerned as to snow cover.

I have been going to Pamporovo now for 13 years without missing a year.
Every year I go for the last week Jan/1st week Feb. Every year the same panic, not enough snow. EVERY year when we get there the snow has been great. Sometimes fantastic, but always great. We have NEVER in 13 years been unable to ski due to lack of snow.

2 years ago the reports back home ...

2 years ago the reports back home were dismal, and the snow cover was reported to be very poor. When we arrived the snow was perfect, and we all breathed a big sigh of relief.

Believe me it will be the same again this year, would I really keep going back if the snow was poor. NO.

IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE MY REASONS FOR GOING ARE.


1. Snow record.
2. People.
3. Nightlife.

All will be fine........... it always is.

Thought that Pamporovo now has snow cannons installed to help prolong the snow.

I undertstand that 80% of the Bansko piste's are covered by snow cannons, not too sure of the Pamporovo coverage

re: A RE-ASSURING WEATHER POSTING

Back to work Thursday.
It was slow entering my posting so I clicked it twice.

No, there are no cannons in Pamps although I believe one will be installed for the new half-pipe.

Bit slow on here tonight so I may shuffle off early.

Then again.......................
