Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi Doug ! - Main changes you'll notice is that they are building very large apartment blocks everywhere around the place, and especially up at the mid station, which may well lead to overcrowding problems in due course unless they expand the lift systems and ski areas !
We've been many times now and love the country and Pamp's itself, and Hey ! - You'll not get better value anywhere that's for sure.
Stayed at the Hotel Pamporovo again in January, and was pleased to see that, for once, the owners have not only maintained it well but have upgraded to a degree so you'll have a great time anyway, whatever the snow conditions !

Hi! Just back from Pamps today. The skiing was great for a couple of days after Tuesday's snow...but there was far too little snow for any long term improvement. With the high temperatures Stoudents has become a mud bath with deep pools best suited for waterskiing! Both main routes back to ski depot 2 involve taking your skis off for a walk through the mud...either on the green run or at the bottom of the 3 man lift. Although yesterday we did manage to ski all the way to the depot on the red/black runs...with a little scrambling over the rocks and mud.
However on a more postive note, there is still good snow at the top of the mountain on the reds and blues.
We had a great time, but anyone going out now needs to start praying for snow!
