Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hey all,
I have just hooked myself up with the internet in Bansko this year so my Correspondence will be alot more regular this year. We\'ve had a lovely summer here with some beautiful weather but now there is a real atmosphere that the skiing season is approaching. The air is getting colder by the day and workmen are moving in an almost constant flow up the mountain to construct and repair. I was watching the local news for the region last night and the forecasters are predicting lots of snow and cold for the winter and at the gondola station you can pick up leaflets from the tour operators (in bulgarian) advertising what they expect to be a great year for snow. Bansko itself is looking a lot neater after alot of building work and is beginning to look much more like a ski resort yet the old town is still going strong giving bansko a bit of character. Can\'t wait to see you all out on the slopes, i know i\'ll be there after work most days, and i hope it\'s a cracking year for lots of small businesses that have popped up over the summer.

Today\'s message:
Got off work early today and thought lets drive up the mountain and have a look round to see what\'s new, if i\'m honest not to much, we think there is one new run open but once again the lift operators are being very secretive. More restaraunts and things like that have popped up and lots more snow cannons are apparent. However i don\'t think snow is going to be an issue this year there was a comment on the weather last night that Bulgaria as a whole may experience record breaking snow amounts this year. Also their was a special report about Bansko and a potential bid to double ski capacity next year. Keep ya posted and feel free to ask any questions
