Dont worry Calvin theres loads of snow at the top of the mountain which has really good nursery slopes, just means a trip up the gondola.

You'll be fine!

They still have enough snow on the beginners slopes outside Rila and plenty on top. Snow and colder conditions are forecast this week so you may have great conditions by the time you go.

Watch this webcam tomorrow to see beginners Very Happy

As it is almost the end of winter, so the temp should be increasing, that's why i am worried. I know the temp is going to drop next week but it won't help if there is no snow falling. Hope there will be a lot of snow falling

There is ONE good slope for beginners at the top of the gondola so you should be OK as if you can get up there the snow was good.

Please don’t criticise, as you will really get an avalanche of posts!
I went over New Year and had a great time but unfortunately spoke out of line more recently, so be careful, although as the web cam on the Rila is off you can still see the mud on the Hotel web cam so agree with you post!
The mounds of artificial snow outside the Rila were the making of the holiday for lots of children the sledges and bum boards got up a terrific speed and looked great fun.
