They opened resort on the 1st Dec last year. There were only 4runs open and the ski road all the way down but this was all due to snow cannons. We have been told temps in Nov are going to be very low so hopefully they can start the snow cannons early again and open up for beginning of Dec but unless it snows again this will only be artificial snow. The nusery/begginners slopes were open.

NB, snow has been ordered, and i'll be soooooooooooooo angry if it does not arrive on time, my nearest and dearest is absolutley right though, cold temps forecast for Nov, so cannons should be running to get a base down....re: Bansko Jan 2010
this is a really good read - made me giggle. thanks Matt

I heard that all the people of Bulgaria go up to the top of the mountain in Bansko on New Years Day, for the National pissing championships. The result of this event is that most of the snow on the mountain melts, therefore there will be no snow to ski on up to the 9th of January.

Cheers - I prefer pissing to boarding anywayre: Bansko Jan 2010
I skied the Tomba the day after the SuperG last year. It was not nearly as 'bullet proof' as I had feared. However, this is probably due to the snow the day before the race and the fairly warm conditions.There are plenty of slopes to ski even if the tomba is shut. Chalin Valog is always quiet and the black there is probably steeper (and less busy) than the tomba.
