Bansko current conditions

So first day here

No snow at all in the village
No snow on any trees anywhere I could see on the mountain even near the goat pub
I've discovered a Tarmac road next to the base station which is now a river of water when usually deep snow


But what is there is skiable - I did the ski road ok slushy in parts but that's about all.

General piste conditions they are OK to heavy - higher up its fine.

Very very busy in Bansko loads of tourists I've never seen it this busy

Village was 10 degrees today
Mountain not sure but blue sky more or less.

I'll be on the 8:30am lift tomorrow am and go right to the top and hopefully get lots of runs in before the crowds turn up.

Some nice changes this year - minor but none he less add to the experience.

1. The 6 man fast lift from bla bla really good

1. The 6 man fast lift from bla bla really good

2. Same place they have changed the flow of the piste 6 so that unlike previously where you would have to do a work out to get up back into number 1 they have cut into the trees so it flows cleanly. Sadly today there was no snow over most of it. However when working it's a great improvement and certainly far cheaper than the 6 man super speed but more impactful to punters.
