Bulgaria Ski discussion board

There is nobody on the mountains yet as they apparently set of a bomb to stop an avalanche. They should be opening up the gondola at 11.00am so you will see people on there soon.

No snow in the town still, but up to yesterday there was plently of snow on the mountain to ski on and I think all the runs etc were open. There is one blue on the piste map that you cannot get to (last blue from the top) so be carefull as you will end up on a not very nice red one as not only very steep (poss black in France), as this is shaded so half the run is icy and half a bit moguly. Also only one black run open, I think the longest one one the piste is closed but no explanation as to why.

Hopefully I will get to ski for a couple of hours this afternoon as it's my last day here and if I do I will try and give you a report later, but only 4 PC's in a big hotel so can't always get on.

Any questions? I will be here for about 30mins.
