Borovets Conditions - 3rd January

Hi All,

No change in what is open / is not, but it is snowing and has been snowing since early morning. There is a lot of mist which is stopping it from being really heavy snow, so it is still pretty light snow. The queues have gone down by about 70% compared to last week as most of those people here for xmas / New Year have now flown home.

The Rila run is slightly better than it was, but still pretty icy in the middle section. The Yastrebets runs are skiing very well and Borosport ...
Hi All,

The Rila run is slightly better than it was, but still pretty icy in the middle section. The Yastrebets runs are skiing very well and Borosport are still running the free shuttle. There will be no problem on either of these runs, it will just be the boredom factor of doing the same runs all week.

I will update you when (thinking positively!!) the snow gets heavier!!

Sorry Guys - I should have said queues on Yastrebets have gone down but still pretty heavy on the nursery slopes.

Boris - we don't really use the forecast sites - we just watch the local news every morning (on TV) and get the forecast that way.

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know it is still snowing at the bottom and top of the resort, although it is still quiet light snow.

Bobby has just come back from Borovets - whilst it has been snowing constantly, it has not surmounted to very much due to the constant mist which has meant the snow has been very fine snow (more like rain). Saying that, there was 4cm of new snow on the car. It is still snowing but even finer than before and not sure if it will carry on.

We are not in Borovets tonight (we need a night with a cup of tea and a comfy smoke-free sofa as were out every night last week) but will update you if we ...

Hi Kas

Good to see more more snow at last, hopefully this will mean you can finally open for business soon.

Looking forward to coming out in Feb (and March!!). Will definitely be calling in.

Cheers Danny
