Bansko current conditions?

Hi,

No skiing going on then? What's the chance of the 24cm that is forecast resolving the situation? Assuming that happens Sad

i'm out on the 26th as well... but think we could have timed it perfectly; it's been dead in general apparently, not necessarily due to conditions. Loads (when i say loads i mean up to 30cm) of snow is forecast (not necessarily in the village though) for up to saturday night, and temperatures are supposed to drop saturday as well meaning below 0 in the village, and continuing in for the rest of the week with a bit of snow?

It will be alright on the night Stuart !
Just looking at the webcams ( hourly ) and this morning seems to be the coldest it's been this week down near Kempinski, hopefully the tide is turning this weekend..
Just keep dancing !!

re: Bansko current conditions?

Just a few days ... so excited. I'm also arriving in Bansko on 26th. My first time there.

Glued to the webcams. Currently looks like there's a fair bit of snow falling in some parts. Either that or some evil git is standing in front of them with a white piece of card.

Does anyone know how to spell 'Bankso' in Snow Dance moves?

re: Bansko current conditions?

Thanks everyone. According to snowforecast there's been 10cm today and next few days looks pretty good too.

Can't wait now. My first time in Bansko as well Kez after doing Borovets last year.
