we went that week this year -We did not have much snow. If u can do it later I would. Luck of the draw it is early in the season and Borovets is not that high. You could be lucky

That said, its a great resort with good nightlife and friendly people so when you can't ski you have to party! As for going elsewhere, you'll have to pay a lot more on the holiday and on spending money. I haven't found anywhere else that is as budget friendly apart from Romania.
