re: Bansko empty

It is empty and will be empty for the next few seasons ; thanks world crises....But ;
- most of the snow is for now in Borovetz ; it is snowing like hell for at least 3 consecutive days and is a powder lover's top choice for now in BG; Bansko had huge drops one month ago , great on piste conditions but no powder for off.
- try to avoid week ends especially when sunny , when national holidays , when you like to stay on the slopes ; a billion of people mostly weak skiers from Thessaloniki ...

- try to avoid week ends especially when sunny , when national holidays , when you like to stay on the slopes ; a billion of people mostly weak skiers from Thessaloniki are chasing each other on the slopes and if you like to ride fast or at least let it go , can be very dangerouse.
During the week , you can have a whole run without seeing any human being which by the way is ok with most of the people regarding the service in the bars on the slopes

Im assuming he means fresh powder damo, but he is right, Boro was taking a beating snow wise when i was there on Monday...
Should get up onto Todorka today as winds have dropped, seems like a nice day for a bit of a climb, and a ski down the back... Razz

re: Bansko empty

Can anyone make any POSITIVE predictions for mid April, when i will be frequenting the shores ? Do you think they'll be any snow left for me and do you think the runs will still be open ? or will it just be Booze

re: Bansko empty

Afraid the runs wont be open mid April, think they are ending the season just before Easter due to lack of people going. Shame really becasue there would probably still be plenty of snow.
