Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Morning All,

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of days - been busy recovering from a very busy xmas!!!

Today there are a few clouds in the sky but it is predominantly beautiful blue skies at the moment and very cold.

Whilst there is still good skiing to be had, we do need some more snow, but will need Mark IOW to come online and report on whether that is going to happen or not!

In terms of the conditions and what's open....

Rila Side - everything except the Rila Black is open. Conditions are good where the snow cannons are but in other places it is a bit icy at the moment, although this should improve as the day goes on. The Sitnyakovo Express (George;s run) is skiable and open but rocky and patchy in places especially towards the end.

Up top, Yastrebets 2 is open and in very good conditions but 1 and 3 are closed, Fon Fon is also open and in okish conditions.

Over on the Markudjik side, 2 (a and b) and 3 are closed, but Marky 1 and the 'loop' - down to Marky 2 4-man chair are open as is the Suhar (nursery slope). Again, ok conditions, but more snow is needed as places are getting patchy which is not helped by the ice. Mussala pathway is open but the stream across the top of it is now visible (so beware!!) and also from about half-way down it is very rocky in places so if you are coming out and have your own ski's you may want to use some hire ones...

The resort was really quiet over xmas, but it would seem a lot more people have chosen to come out mid-week / for New Year as it's definitely getting busier.

Manc Tom - sorry to say but you need to start our naked snow dancing again....

Any queries, just shout!
