So any1 about to go out there, pray & then pray some more for the snow queen to help you out, as you really wont be enjoying yourself otherwise.
Unless ya get plenty of

The top of the gondola was great nice fresh snow and I to found them skiable.

the green run tht comes across on the ledge (parts of that were very icy) but the red run infront of the rila was fine plenty of snow on it - i was night skiing friday and i was racing down from the top of the chair lift.Gondola side is still very good with off piste being superb!

Yea, the snow was starting to get bad, and very icy. All Im saying is, if the warm weather there carrys on over the week, as you can expect, it will be awful in a very short period of time. So any1 going this week, should really hope 4 some snow.re: Also Just back from Borovets
Ther was a section of the red down to the bottom gondola station (about 80 yards) that was 'fun' but still skiable.PS Fonfon is the dogs and was in good condition right till the end of the last day
