Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Just spoken to friend in Boro. Moaning about the cold - the Borosport instructors suits are useless. Said he was so cold that he couldn't move his jaw to speak - but managed coffee and brandy!!

Conditions are perfect on the top and wind was dropping.
Lower slopes still good but some ice patches where the wind has blown new snow away. One of the snow cannons wasn't working properly last night at top of slope outside Rila but it's now fixed so icy patches should be covered tomorrow. Temperatures rising slightly.

Strange - I've just got back and the gondola was only open to the mid station and Yastrebets closed all day. The only place open was the Rila side. Snow was OK, but a couple of runs are suffering badly with bare patches - especially the black run (martinovi baraki 4??) where it starts off looking great and rapidly turns into a rock wall. You'd think Borosport would mark it closed. There's a nice red marked as closed but its perfectly OK.
Of course, its also rammed with learners and the queues are pretty long - wouldn't be so bad if people filled each chair lift.
