BORO UPDATE - 5TH FEB

Hi Eveyone!

Hi Eveyone!

Ok - so a big change from yesterday in terms of the weather...! Once again, beautiful blue skies, sunshine and about -10 at the top of the mountain. A bit of snow fell at the top last night, but only about 2 or 3 cm. Saying that, none was forecast, so that must be good news....!!??!!

So, all the markudjik slopes are open again (except 3) and have been brilliantly pisted....other half is on them now and they are better than they were when they first opened on Tuesday... The Rila slopes are also in excellent condition...

So, for all those coming out this weekend....
Yastrebets 1, 2 and 3 open - EXCELLENT CONDITIONS on all 3 slopes
Fon Fon - open - excellent conditions
Gondola open and run down to Yastrebets - GOOD conditions -
Nursery at top of gondola is open - EXCELLENT CONDITIONS
Markudjik 1, 2a and 2b are open, 3 is still shut - EXCELLENT CONDITIONS
MUSSALA PATHWAY - open - EXCELLENT CONDITIONS although expected to get a little worse at the bottom as the day goes on..
Rila, iglika and yanakiev (Rotata) drags open - VERY GOOD CONDITIONS
Martinovi 1, 2 and 3 are open- VERY GOOD CONDITIONS
Sitnyakovo Express - open - GOOD CONDITIONS

Closed: Sitnyakovo 3 and 4 and the 2 blacks on the rila - just a few too many rocks and no snow cannons or anything here.

Enjoy....!!

That's sounding more like it, Kas. Let's hope it just gets better and better for what's left of the season.

Hi All,

Marky 1 is deteriorating a bit as is marky 2 and 3 - a few rocks in the middle, but excellent to the sides and at the top / bottom. Just be careful! Weather conditions however are brilliant and in general, the slopes are excellent.

re: BORO UPDATE - 5TH FEB

I think thats awesome news Kas, been watching your reports for about 4 weeks now and at one point was getting very worried!
It looks like its just turned in time for a really good weeks skiing.
We will be out tomorrow from E mids, Are the kids welcome in the Titanic?

See you all soon.

Hi Ya,

Yes - they're welcome. It's one of the reasons we meet there as well as the fact it's small enough to recognise people and it's not too loud etc. We then move on after depending on where people want to go. I know of at least another 5 kids going as well, so will take the Wii up so they have something to play on.

Have a safe flight and see you Sunday!

re: BORO UPDATE - 5TH FEB

Hi Kas,
Jut wondering - is there snow around the resort or it is just on the mountain.
Thanks for the brilliant snow updates. Comming out on the 20th cant wait.

re: BORO UPDATE - 5TH FEB

Hi Claire,

There is some around the resort as well as in the mountain - a major improvement on what has been described by locals as 'the worst season start ever experienced!'
