Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi All,

Today's conditions are much much better than yesterday...plenty of fresh snow on yastrebets / rila (via the cannons) and not icy or busy at all. Beautiful blue skies and the cannons are still on. It is -10 again today.

So...to summarise....
Rila nursery still closed - as lift still not fixed -
Yastrebets 2 & 3 open and excellent conditions
Gondola open and run down to Yastrebets is much better
Free shuttle buses still running to the 4 man chair.
Iglika and yanakiev (Rotata) drags open
Rila 4 man chair open - Martinovi 2 and 3 (both red) skiiable, - '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 some people are skiing down the mussala path. Top bit is great, bottom is poor and not recommended but, the run is empty so....!
Nursery at top of the gondola is open.

Thanks Kas,

I'm currently in Borovets and still using your updates to find out conditions etc, I'm boarding and not very good at it, finding the icey parts scary! I need a nice long blue slope wide enough for me not to go off the edge (any ideas?) I spent the morning crying into my goggles on yastrebetz because my calfs and were burning so much, and my boot felt like I had stopped the circulation to my leg! I later discovered my boot to be on a little tight... I got down in the end and even went up again!
