re: Boro update

Morning guys. As usual, I haven't bothered to go up as there's no point but just had the call...! It snowed about 2 to 3cm last night in the resort, but still not enough to ski on. It's also pretty misty up there today. In terms of up top, there is a bit more snow as it snowed continuously up there for circa 24hours, but at the moment the gondola is still shut - not sure if they will open it up later. Once there is an an update on this will let you know. The new arrivals from yesterday are ...

The new arrivals from yesterday are not skiing today (unable to) except a couple of beginners who are out on the tiny bit of snow on the rila nursery.

re: Boro update

Just made a call but no answer as it's manic up in Boro with lots of new arrivals pretty unhappy because there's no snow. Saying that it is has just started to snow down here (Samkov) so that normally means there will be more in Boro. When he calls me back will ask if they've opened up yastrebets and also about the cannons. Someone else might be able to help before then though if they are in Boro...

re: Boro update

It has snowed but only seems to be a couple of cms where I am (Lion hotel). Borosports web site shows one nursery slope and two reds open which is no good for me.

re: Boro update

Gondola was open a couple of days ago when it was green fields up there. Besides, that's a hell of a lot of traipsing for a potentially wasted trip!

re: Boro update

I agree with Pete, a couple of days ago, they were just opening Gondola / 4man for people to walk rather than ski. As before there is a few cm's of snow on the rila slopes which has really helped with any total beginners as at least they can ski on the nursery at the bottom but that's not really any good for anyone above total beginner level.
