Hi Sue...

I am actually in Bansko now, snow cover generally on piste is 100% coverage and nearer the top the better it gets, skied in a blizzard yesterday so new snow but only above 1600 metres. it is still easy to ski down the ski road back to the town though they have done some work to keep it skiable, just like a ribbon of snow at the bottom but they are still teaching on it...

A lot colder now with more snow forcast but only on the mountain, the town has no snow at all, very easy to get around, very spring like, awoke this morning to blue skies and sunshine, i am up very early, just waiting for the restaurant to open for breakfast then i am up there again for the new snow...

See ya

I doubt at all if there will be snow enough for skiing after the end of this week in Bansko. The weather forecast is for temperatures above 15 degrees centigrade in the middle of week and appr. 20 degrees in the weekend. In the mountain it will be above zero for sure, so the season is almost over.

re: Bansko 27th March

Thank you for the great news on snow in Bansko. I am off on Wednesday, so it should last. This morning in Sofia it is 10C at 1pm, very strong sun and not a cloud. I personally think there will be enough snow in Bansko till at least mid-april, but only on the top, I am surprised you can still ski down to town. That is a very good sign.
