New update - Yastrebets runs are the worst they have been and apart from a tiny bit of fresh snow, they are basically pure ice and it's basically 'side-slipping' rather than skiing. A number of classes have given up and taken their 'people' back to the Rila runs, where conditions are not much better.
On a positive note, it still snowing quite heavily up the top and in Borovets (resort level) and down here in Samokov it is now snowing very lightly. The only way I can describe 'lightly' is ...

The only way I can describe 'lightly' is that it looks like ash from a fire - not sure if that makes sense, but hopefully you get my drift!! On the news this morning, it did say it would snow all day, so fingers crossed...

Hi Clare,

it is quite cold up top ad is snowing - snow cannons are on at the bottom of Yastrebets, not at the top of it, so we're not really sure why...It's also pretty misty and very icy,
In Boro itself, snow started about 20mins ago, but very very light. It also is currently to warm for snow cannons, but is quite cold and again a bit misty. it is definitely colder in general than it has been for the last week or so.

Guys,

It is still snowing (resort level and down here in Samkovo) and now more like moderate to light rather than very light, it is also settling 'just' in samokov, so here's hoping for everyone...

Snowing again in Borovets resort level and up the mountain. it's not the 'biggest' snow you have ever seen but it doesn't look like stopping and is a good start.... Smile
