Any alternatives near Pamporovo?

With more rain and high temperatures forecast for pamps before we arrive on Saturday, I was wondering if there is a plan B not to far away? Is there a resort we can get to that is higher/more chance of snow cover?

Hopefully the forecast is wrong and pamps will be fine but was wondering if there was an alternative should the worse happen? Thanks.

re: Any alternatives near Pamporovo?

Borovets or Bansko would be the best options. They are not very close to Pamporovo but if you are flying into Sofia then Borovets is only an hour from Sofia and Bansko just over 2 hours from Sofia. Borovets and Bansko both have reasonable snow cover at the moment

Thanks Mac....I was thinking of maybe one over nighter and get 2 days skiing in. How far away are they from pamps then? What is Chepelare like for snow, i see this is pretty close to pamps?

re: Any alternatives near Pamporovo?

chepalare will be no diff to pamps.r u all experience skiers.if u r just beginners first/second time skiers there will be enought snow up top 2 ski.it will just be the lower parts that will be dodgy
