Hi Mike,

I've been 2nd week of March for the last 2 years. Snows been a little thin on some of the lower slopes but there's been fab skiing on top. Always come back with a fab sun tan!

Always had a great time in boro in March, We have just had 2 poor years for snow so fingers crossed for this year. Apparently April last year was fantastic! Razz Booze

re: Borovets Snow in March

as said -the upper slopes should be fine- have been when we were there in March- lower ones chance of being slushy or broken (totally depends upon snowfall etc)
plenty of Sun though! Very Happy- also less crowded

I've been going in March every year since 2004 and have always skied every day. You can have a look at my photos at http://www.closingtime.co.uk/.

Over the last couple of years there’s been less snow in Borovets village, but plenty up on the mountains.

I hope you recover in time and enjoy it as much as I do.

Regards,

Gary
