Anyway...moving on.....In terms of the conditions...practically identical to yesterday except it is misty today rather than snowing....

Anyway...moving on.....In terms of the conditions...practically identical to yesterday except it is misty today rather than snowing....
Rila nursery still closed - this is due to the lift breaking down
Temps are also still low so both sets of cannons are still working.
Yastrebets 2 and 3 open and excellent conditions
Gondola open and run down to Yastrebets is much better - first 50metres has a few rocks / stones but the rest of it is really good now which is the best it has been all season.
Free shuttle buses still running to the 4 man chair.
Iglika and yanakiev (Rotata) drags open
Rila 4 man chair open - Martinovi 2 (red) skiiable, - has changed from 'pretty good' to 'good' conditions at the moment
Sitnyakovo Express open for skiers as well as walkers now, but conditions are still pretty poor. The run at the top of the Express though is in very good condition.
All Markudjik slopes are still closed...although we're unsure why as the snow level 'looks' good on here now....trying to find out about this one and will let you know...

Kas thanks for the great snow updates. We are arriving tomorrow, can't wait. Hope they get the Markudjik slopes open. Looking at the web cams on the other slopes it looks like there is loads of snow about now. I guess it's just Borosports dragging their heals, which is a shame.

Hi

Forgot to put yastrebets 1 is also open and pretty good conditions - a bit icy, but overall it's good. Going to actually get my boots on tomorrow and do a bit of skiing for a change - can't wait!

In terms of Markudjik slopes, we still don't know - there seems to be enough snow on there, so don't know why they are closed. They did sack a number of lift operators because they were paying them from the start of the season when nothing was open, so don't know if that's the reason or ...

The guy in charge has said it's because there's not enough snow, but just not sure......
