re: Bankso Track Status
Don't trust Banskoski.com ... Their site is not refreshed from 1 of December, once i visited the site at 3:00 am and there was EVERY LIFT IS WORKING status. Trust the webcamsre: Bankso Track Status
Only 4 slopes are open.re: Bankso Track Status
More slopes have been opened. That's a definate. The site data has not been updated but the webcams are live.re: Bankso Track Status
Correct more slopes are open and the bansko ski web site has been updated this morning!re: Bankso Track Status
I don't think so - still four runs plus the ski road on the webpage and the cameras show no action at the top at all, despite the snow of the other day. I would like to be wrong, so if anyone gets any better information....re: Bankso Track Status
Can someone who is in Bansko clear up all this confusion. What are the conditions like? Are there any more runs/lifts open and if not when do they expect them to open?re: Bankso Track Status
The cameras now show people on the top lifts, so I'm going down. Will update this eveningre: Bankso Track Status
The exact status is that the lift from the top of Tomba to the top of Todorka is open, as is the slow old 3 man from Shiligarnika. So almost all of the mountain is open, although most is unpisted. The snow is not as good as Borovets (I'm a glass half empty type of chap) but there are massive piles of man made snow all over the mountain ready to be plastered on the pistes, presumably in the next day or two - or possibly even tonight. All in all, plenty of skiing and with the temperature ...

All in all, plenty of skiing and with the temperature staying low, more than enough for the foreseeable future as the machines will keep topping up. Frankly, I'm pretty impressed by the coverage and this should make a real contribution to keeping the slopes in good condition over the season.
Still not buying an apartment here though.
