Hi, well i went boarding yesterday in Malovitsa. I know somw people have been up to Borovets and they've been opening the far chair lift some of the time at the weekends.... I think Boro to Bansko if about a 5 hour round trip so worth finding out if any of the chair lifts are open in Borovets. The season starts on the 20th so they should be opening the gondola... hope this helps
