BOROVETS UPDATE - 31st JAN

Hi Guys,

Nothing new to update, so haven't posted anything today...the only thing is that the Rila 4 man broke down again and it is extremely busy with a.new arrivals and b. all the locals.
Yastrebets and Rila runs still great (due to snow cannons) but obviously now there's a problem using the rila runs!! It is working again now, although at the moment there are no people on it. The other day it stopped and then after about an hour people were let back on, so hopefully it's not a ...
Hi Guys,

Nothing new to update, so haven't posted anything today...the only thing is that the Rila 4 man broke down again and it is extremely busy with a.new arrivals and b. all the locals.
Yastrebets and Rila runs still great (due to snow cannons) but obviously now there's a problem using the rila runs!! It is working again now, although at the moment there are no people on it. The other day it stopped and then after about an hour people were let back on, so hopefully it's not a permanent problem.

I am in London for 24hours from late tonight, so won't be able to update you tomorrow, but will try and get an update to you on Tuesday. The forecasts keep changing as well, so it's not even worth saying what 'people think will happen' as it's just a total mystery!!

So...to summarise....
Yastrebets 2 and 3 open - and excellent conditions
Gondola open and run down to Yastrebets is much better, but still a bit rocky
Rila, glika and yanakiev (Rotata) drags open
Rila 4 man chair open earlier but now closed due to a technical problem - hopefully will open up later- Martinovi 2 and 3 (both red) skiiable and very 'good' conditions - snow cannons have been on
Sitnyakovo Express is still closed, but people are already on there skiing it, despite the fact they have to pick out the rocks!! Sitnyakovo drag open but conditions are not 'great'
All Markudjik slopes are still closed...
Mussala path still closed

Hi All,

Just a quick post before I go to the airport....just got back from Boro and it's been snowing for about 3 hours, alternating between light to medium snow....hopefully it will continue through the night and everyone will wake up to lots of snow!

The snow dance I've been doing all day has worked then! I'm out on the 7th so hopefully enough of the white stuff will have fallen to make it an even better holiday.

Have a lovely time away Kas hopefully meet you when I'm in Boro ~ only 7 sleeps to go now Very Happy
