Bansko 24th March


I am due in Bansko on 24th March, just looked at the weather forecast for next week - looks really warm for the whole week somedays may reach 20C - do you think the middle mountain slopes 1600m upwards will still be skiable the following week?

Different places seem to be giving different snow depths, one site suggesting 255cm top and 210cm lower another is suggesting 175cm higher and 90cm lower. Hence why ...
