The link from Yastrebets 1 and 2 will be great, i presume all 3 runs will now link to the Yastrebets express chairlift? Queues could be very big there if this is the case??

Hi ya Chris,

Yes - they will all link to Yastrebets Express, however you could still link across from 1 last year on the small narrow path, so hopefully it will be same traffic flow. It's just that it is more like a new ski run now to get there!!

But if snow cover is good everywhere this will even it out a bit. Letsa hope the top is open more over in Boro this year heard it was closed alot last year.
Kas do you still have the restaurant on top this year or not bothered??

I know what you mean nightmuffy, when the top is open it does spread out the crowds especially on the yastrebet runs.

It's not about having good snow cover although I suppose it's the use of the word 'good'. We hade had great (good) snow cover last year but Marky 2 and 3 were closed and running over to the Avalache (bowl/Musala hut) was out of the question as it was too dangerous. Often Marky 3 is closed due to high wind. Maybe if we have good snow cover but not as good as last season with low wind and the far side can remain open then that could thin things out a little. But the last thing they want to do ...

But the last thing they want to do is to keep leveling the steep parts otherwise the harder slopes become more attractive to the lesser skiers and the slight lunatics among us will have nowhere to go.
