Was there from the 23rd to the 30th & the run was awful for boarders, far too much ice & the run was shut for most of the days (don't think it was too bad for skiers though)
And I was there from 30.12 to 01.01, always skied down the ski run to Bansko. It's faster than taking the gondola and it's fun. Not very good for snowboarders though because it's icy, but that'll be fixed too, with the next snowfall.
Got as far as the 1st snow cannon on my 1st day but the other two in the group had taken a bit of a battering & shouted me back, i'm thinkin it was a whole lot better from then on in??
Left on the 30th & it was raining cats & dogs so don't know i'm afraid how it is now but when i was there the skiers were having no probs with it, was only the boarders who had probs
