Hi Guys! i'm just wondering if anyone can help me out about the snow forecast for bansko. I know it's a little early to tell but me and a group of friends are planning on headign there the 5th-12th of april and i wanted to nkow if there is normally snow that time of year. I know the gondola closes 15th so I am a little worried.
If anyone knows or could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

re: Bansko snow?!?!

There normally is some snow, but its patchy and slushy with freeze/thaw making it very icy first thing. The up side is that the pistes are empty and you can normally get an hour or two of very good snow before it gets too soft. We were skiing at the same time in the last couple of years but its risky as its so late in the season.
