Morning Guys,
Not much different to report, but will write a report regardless as I know there are a number of you waiting with baited breath for trips out next week...!!
There was no snow last night and it's not currently snowing now. The weather is very cold though so the cannons have been on. The best conditions can be found on the yastrebets slopes and the Rila slopes. I would love to say up on the Markudjik slopes as then people would be coming to the restaurant, but that's not ...

There was no snow last night and it's not currently snowing now. The weather is very cold though so the cannons have been on. The best conditions can be found on the yastrebets slopes and the Rila slopes. I would love to say up on the Markudjik slopes as then people would be coming to the restaurant, but that's not where the best skiing is, as although Markudjik 1 is skiing extremely well, there is only that and the Suhar open so it is limited up here.
So...
Markudjik 1 - very good
Suhar - very good
Yastrebets 1, 2 and 3 all skiing extremely well, although a bit too much snow from the snow cannons, which hasn't been pisted which makes it tough but interesting!! the fun park is also going down really well.
Down on the Rila side, the runs are skiing well, although a couple need a bit more snow for example the Royal express way. The Rila reds are pretty good, especially where the snow cannons have been and have been pisted really well.
The Harima down to the 4man is getting very bare and not sure how much longer it will open for....really need some snow.
It is cloudy at the bottom and top - it was snowing when we left Samokov but it's not in Borovets at the moment. Snow is forecast for today and tomorrow BUT we will wait and see....!

re: BORO CONDITIONS - MARCH 3RD
Thanks kas! Keep the updates coming!
They're a good read and the best source of information regarding conditions on the net! So thank you for these! At least there's some good conditions on half the runs! So should still be able to put my lessons into practice next week! Will still come up and visit even if the Markudjik slopes are closed next week - want to see what all the fuss is about!
re: BORO CONDITIONS - MARCH 3RD
We have your snow for a change Kas, chucking it down at the moment, supposably in for two days, you have to say that March is becoming the most snow sure month, great for the skidvd crew out in a few daysStill looking at a Boro trip if conditions improve over there

re: BORO CONDITIONS - MARCH 3RD
Hi Kas,Thanks for that. I was working through the night last night and could see that no snow was falling
but really pleased to pick up on the good news in your reports.Let's hope the forecasts hold up and there is a bit snow to refresh the tired slopes but if not then never mind - we'll get to enjoy what ever is there and it will be great to meet you up at the White House anyway!
cheers!

Hi Kas.Got back from Bannf on Sunday had a wonderful time. Ski conditions at Lake Louise were incredible only one problem,
no white house on the top of the mountain. The temp out there was frightening on one day it was down to -30 with a wind chill factor of -41, did not see many brass monkeys hanging around.Hope the W H. is doing ok, best wishes to Bobby & speedy recovery.
Hope you have met up with Carl & Paul they are out there this week.
All the best.
S.P.
re: BORO CONDITIONS - MARCH 3RD
Hi SP,Glad you guys had such a great time....really jealous although not of the temps!! Carl & Paul come in every day - normally for bacon sandwiches!! But....there's 2 things about them that have confused me....
1. They don't drink anywhere near as much as you and D'Boo
2. They are always waiting for the first gondola at 8.45...
Just can't believe they are friends of yours.......!!!!!!

& Angie
