Would you reccommend going skiing in Bulgaria first week of March 2008 or last week in Feb 2008? I'm thinking of going to Borovets again for the second time.
I went early Jan this year and conditions weren't great had awesome snow at the end but the gondola was closed mid week for few days due to high winds so couldn't get up top but still had great hols, the last two days after huge dump made up for it.

The snow on the webcam in Boro looks ok at the mo a lot better when we went as there was lots of mud and black showing through.
Some people say March is bit wet and warm so was wondering if you were gonna play it safe and book in advance whats best for cold temps and good snow base and chances of snow - last week in Feb or first in March?
Cheers

Middle of FEB was great conditions.re: Best time of year to ski BG?!
I've skiied last week in January and mid March - twice each...Always have had good conditions both - the gondola has been closed more in the January due to winds and cold weather, but the downside is that in March the snow opposite the Rila tends to be slushy by mid afternoon.
It depends what sort of level of skiing you are looking for, and also, what temperatures - I prefer March as it's not so cold and next year have booked for Bansko on 23rd February.
