BORO UPDATE - 18TH FEB

Morning everyone,

Not great news again I am afraid. Snow is pretty sticky and already a bit slushy up top due to warm weather. It is sunny today though (not misty / foggy etc) and already a bit warmer than yesterday...

Snow on yastrebets is better than elsewhere, simply due to there being more there due to when the snow cannons were on.It is slightly colder on the Marky slopes though so snow conditions should stay better for slightly longer.

The local news / weather now says that ...
Morning everyone,

Not great news again I am afraid. Snow is pretty sticky and already a bit slushy up top due to warm weather. It is sunny today though (not misty / foggy etc) and already a bit warmer than yesterday...

Snow on yastrebets is better than elsewhere, simply due to there being more there due to when the snow cannons were on.It is slightly colder on the Marky slopes though so snow conditions should stay better for slightly longer.

The local news / weather now says that will be light snow up top tonight / tomorrow and then more snow on Sunday when it is expected to get colder again.

Marky 3 still closed as are Sitnyakovo 2 & 3.

Sorry I can't be more positive at the mo' but wanted to tell you the 'real' conditions! Hopefully the predicted snow will come...as although there is enough at the mo, if these temps carry on for the next few days, it won't look great for next week....

My advice is to start the snow dancing again and think positively!! Very Happy

You will be able to ski - just the snow conditions and there is still plenty of snow - it's just the temps are making it pretty hard going and a bit slushy / sticky.... More snow / colder temps will change it pronto so here's hoping for you!

re: BORO UPDATE - 18TH FEB

Saturday tends to be pretty busy all day as it is changeover day. We don't normally go out on a Saturday as depending on flight arrival times, there are less people out than on a Sunday as some people don't arrive until late Saturday. Also anyone with a tour operator has a meeting etc with their reps - saying that next week is also mean to be pretty busy, so it should be fun!!

I will be recovering from my birthday (tomorrow) and getting ready for Sunday night in Titanic - which has become the new Saturday night for us!!! Hopefully catch you then! Very Happy

Hi Kas,
could you in the meanwhile get Bobby's car get out of the snow ?
I am still at home, in bed, recovering from my bad cold that I caught in Borovets.
Lovely greetings to you both !
