Borovets Conditions - 3rd January

Hi All,

Well, haven't updated for a couple of days as not much change and also we're all sturck down with a virus....again!!!

Ok - it's still the Rila and Yastrebets slopes that are open. They ski well in the morning but by lunch time are pretty icy...

The gondola is shut from the top, but people are still skiing down it - not from the top, but via the small path by the White House restaurant. Lots of people have been doing night skiing as it is not as busy and conditions have ...

The gondola is shut from the top, but people are still skiing down it - not from the top, but via the small path by the White House restaurant. Lots of people have been doing night skiing as it is not as busy and conditions have been ok....

So...the 3 rila nursery slopes are open as are Rila 1,2 and 3. Yastrebets 2 and 3 are open, along with Suhar at the top. Sitnyakovo is also open.

Snow is predicted but who knows....as soon as it comes, we will let you know....!!

Thanks for the update Kas. I hope you're better for the weekend as we will be heading up to see you all... bus to the airport leaves in T minus 35hrs 19mins and counting!!!

We'll pack some snow and bring it over... Just hope it survives the flight and dumps over Borovets

Thanks for the update Kas, hope you get well soon!

We will be arriving in Borovets all being well in exactly 2 weeks!!

Is the Harima slope open to get down to Yastrebets or are people going to gondola halfway and down Yastrebets 1??

re: Borovets Conditions - 3rd January

No - Harima is not open, however people are still skiing down it even though it is closed...but not directly from the top of the gondola. You ski down past the whitehouse and cut down there....
