re: Boro 7th Jan - UPDATE

looking at the forecast from sat, onwards it looks like some snow is due also getting colder, so fingers crossed for this to happen. Smile

re: Boro 7th Jan - UPDATE

Just to update this, I've been told that the Gondola is only open for walkers. Yastrebetz chairlift is on & there's the free shuttle from the Gondola.

Two drag lifts in front of the Rila with long queues (we estimated about 60 people in each queue).

The Sitnyakovo Express (chairlift on the black on the left of the Rila Hotel) is open only for walkers.

It's 15 degrees at the Rila at the moment.

Here are a couple of photo's taken a few minutes ago.

Hi Kas,

thanks very much for your reports.
We, a couple from Germany, are coming in February and I beg for snow. But I am very optimistic, it is falling a little later.
At the moment we are drowning in snow and some more 40 cm are expected for the weekend!
C est la vie - such is life
Regards from Berlin Roland

Haven't seen so few snow in Borovez since 2003 in November after the autumn snow falls.
