Bansko - conditions today

There is lots of snow up the mountain and almost 2 foot of powder, although visibility today was a nightmare!

Skiied the ski road which was suprisingly easy (considering it's been raining again in town) one dodgy bit where you have to cross a very narrow bit of a stream and a bit ropey when you get to the Kempinski, otherwise lovely run!!!!

thanks for that Joy. Are all the lifts working ? Are the piste bashers working or on an extended tea break again ?

Yep hoping to get up the mountain tomorrow, depending on the time our guests leave

No not all the lifts were working today but they have been, visibility was so bad I would't have gone to the top today anyway, never seen it so awful

We've had a nightmare couple of weeks with queues both for lift passes and gondola, my advice hit first lifts 8.30am (have a nap after skiing and before going out if you like the late nights) not possible for us most of the time, but no queues and empty ...

Hopefully should not be so busy next week but expect it to be busy at weekends (especially if good snow) this week the greeks have had a holiday and it is russian new year as well!!!!!!

The off piste is fab at the moment (from my son not me, still learning that one) and more snow due tonight!!!!!!!

Have a lovely holiday all

Oh

Just a cautionary note for any of you mad b*******'s we have good snow cover but be careful off piste as all the tree stumps and stones are not yet fully covered and if you hit one you'll know about it!!!!!
