Ah, but what's it going to do the rest of the week and into next week?

Will it be warming up?

Will the snow be perfect for the 2nd?

Looking like heavy rain at low levels from early next week... :-(

Can the Marks shed any light on this? Can we hope for better conditions later next week?

Hi Guys........

So an update for next week.

Well Sunday and Monday are looking mild. We have seen a slight decrease in projected temps, so in resort we would be looking at 4-5c. At the moment it should be dry, so snow conditions may get a bit soft towards the end of both days in resort, but given how much snow they have on the lower runs (150cm) the skiing should still be fine.

Up on the higher runs - Marky etc then conditions should still be very good. Freezing levels are progged ...
Hi Guys........

So an update for next week.

Well Sunday and Monday are looking mild. We have seen a slight decrease in projected temps, so in resort we would be looking at 4-5c. At the moment it should be dry, so snow conditions may get a bit soft towards the end of both days in resort, but given how much snow they have on the lower runs (150cm) the skiing should still be fine.

Up on the higher runs - Marky etc then conditions should still be very good. Freezing levels are progged to be around 2000m so temps up there will be just below freezing.

Temps will then start to drop from Monday night onwards, with Tuesday being a cooler day (around 2c in resort). The models are showing an area of precipitation to move into the area on Tuesday afternoon, this at the moment should fall as snow at all levels as colder air comes in behind the front.

Wednesday onwards is cold and clear - freezing levels dropping to around 1000m, so temps should be below freezing at all levels.

This is still subject to change and I am still hoping that temps for Sunday and Monday will be cooler than currently projected. Overall though the week should be good, especially up on the higher runs with plenty of snow to play in and a possible top up on Tuesday.

Keep dancing people! Very Happy

re: Borovets Remote Weather Report - 19 FEB 13

That may happen.

The problem is that precipitation forecasts this far out are fairly useless really.

We shall see............at least they have lots of snow even if we do have a mild few days.

Coolio. With any luck conditions on the slopes will hold up pretty well since there is a good base. If there was another dump just as we arrive then that would be perfect.

Regardless - GEROFF MY PISTE! ;-)

re: Borovets Remote Weather Report - 19 FEB 13

Should be fine.

There is a very good base now......conditions may get a little soft towards the end of the day on the lower slopes but apart from that it should be fine.

The end of the week (wednesday - friday) is looking great, clear and cold.

Cannot wait!
