I know everyone is saying to ignore the forecast and just see what happens. But by the look of the Forecast Temperatures are warming up does this mean the cannons will not be on? and how quickly will the new snow to disappear?
Sorry to be a pain but will be my first Ski Holiday and dont really understand the ins and out of the cannons.
Many factors decide whether the cannons run or not, not just temperature.
Looking @ the forecast, the next 4-5 days should be safe but after that it looks like its warming up. But it is still a little way off to be accurate.
I would have thought all areas with cannon coverage will be safe but may become icy/icier. Those currently open without coverage may struggle to stay open longer than a week. Though just my opinion.
I think that Borovets have made many improvements this year so ...

I think that Borovets have made many improvements this year so would hate to bash them too much, However this year must teach them somethings.
The Majority or a large proportion of people going to Borovets are beginners. As a minimum to meet demand they need all their beginners slopes open. Therefore the priorities are snow cannons for Sitnyakavo blue and the creation of a green/blue drag @ the top of yastrebets chair. However Father Christmas has been recently so we will have to wait a bit.
This is the second poor start to the year in a row. By the look of some holiday prices in the next month or two, it seems it wont be that busy. Borosport need to be pro-active now before people look elsewhere for greener grass or should I say more white
Oh, forgot to say, and it is very cheap to implement and also effective. They need queuing signs and to implement it properly. Surely people must realise there is an issue, when you get off the lift before the queue ends. (Rila slope)
There should be a snake like queue next to the lift to prevent reducing the length of the slope.
Thank u, lot of help I am going 22nd with my girlfriend, so not sounding great. But hey ho cheap beers and a week off work. What does anybody think of the likelihood of more snow by the 22nd?
Poor soul! LOL
Im sure it will be ok- just make the most of it- expect the worst then anything else is good news!
Have you bought a helmet (could be a few rocks! LOL)
