We arrive at Borovets on Saturday and next week is now looking a lot colder then we thought at the start of this week. Very Happy. Very good news. Hoping the snow comes tonight and Tuesday Happy dance

Cannot wait for my first skiing holiday. Spent the last 50 to 60 days looking at the forums and webcams

Same here.

Sunday and Monday are still going to be mild (4c in resort) but that should not have an impact on the skiing. The higher runs will all be in fantastic shape and then it gets colder from Monday night onwards with some snow hopefully.

Only two days to goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Last update from me before the big off tomorrow (1pm Gatwick).

Not too much has changed. Sunday will the warmest day of the week, 5c maxima in boro and around freezing on the higher runs. Anyone thinking - oh my god the snow will melt don't worry! Freeze thaw cycles are normal and the snow gods have provided a chunky base this year (1.5m - 2m).

Monday will see the beginning of a cool down, temps will be few degrees down on Sunday, with precipitation starting to encroach from thd adriaric. Tuesday will be cooler again, possibly some lighg rain to start in resort but this will change to snow at all levels as colder air moves in. Wednesday to Friday is looking cold (below freezing at all levels) with snow a possibility.

So the week should proove interesting - Spring conditions on piste to start thd week and then possible powder skiing from mid week onwards. The usual caveat applies, that being things may change, but recent model runs have been consistent in the main.

See you all later!!
