Anybody know if the snow cannons are mobile?? i know the ones on the snow road are fixed, but wondered if the others can be moved on to the currently closed slopes to open more of the area??Some forescasts say lower temps next week even if there is not much snow. Must at least be a good thing for the snow cannons
If not suppose we can ski mornings and
on afternoons!! Always look on the bright side!!!!Fly out on 19th so fingers crossed.

I go pamps on the 18th, it would appear that the majority of the week we are there it will be snowing, 1st 2 or 3 days may be limited skiing but if the forecasts are accurate we will have fully open ski resorts

In total there are 220 cannons in Bansko, 40 of which are mobile... The water connection is the limiting factor, this does not allow for any cannons on the very top of the mountain.

The forecast does give snow showers from Wednesday on, lower temps, but still no sizeable falls on the horizon (one site did claim 15 days of snow for region, but much to far off to be accurate)
Off subject slightly, but we have been out today mountain biking, a group of 15 including tourists... this is a first for January in my 7 years of living here
