Borovets 2205

Good morning.

Only found this site yesterday, and read loads of great reviews already, we booked to go ski-ing and have booked a ski package & read somewhere that there wasnt much snow this year. Will there be snow & will we be able to ski????
Does anyone think we booked too early (8th)
Thanx Nic

Ps: This is our first ski-ing holiday!!!

Went to Borovets last year and am off on Sunday with Pete and the gang. Next year will be the third time.

I can't ski, but I love it - everyone is really friendly and all good fun.

Where will you be staying in Borovets?

You can't tell from year to year - the main thing in Borovets is that you've got the snow cannons at the bottom of the slope by the Rila Hotel. Even if there isn't a massive amount of snow, at least there will be some made specially.

Have you checked out the webcam pictures for early Jan this year - what could you see - was there snow?

I was at the Rila last week, it snowed loads on the very first day, but from then on not very much, however, we did ski all week, but towards the end it was getting a bit icey.

The Rila is a good hotel by the way, met loads of great people there, ask for a quiet room though, as it has two bars and a nightclub.
