re: Borovets ski conditions.
Not good....
Just got back tonight (sunday).
We had a good week. We even had snow on Tuesday. But then the warm weather started doing damage and thawed away at all the white stuff.
Skiing still was pretty much OK on Thursday and But Friday and Saturday, the ground started to appear thru the snow all over the place, and it was deteriorating really badly. Cold temperatures overnight had created large icy patches.
Add to that, the Goldola was only open up to mid-point on Saturday, ...

Add to that, the Goldola was only open up to mid-point on Saturday, and we faced a trecherous, icy ski back down.
But All in all, WE had a pretty good skiing week because teh conditions were so good up, except for the very last day. I pity the poor so-and-so's out there this week.....we left it in the worst conditions I've seen it in, in the last four years we've been going.

re: Borovets ski conditions.
SammyboyWhen you left were the conditions getting really bad from mid station down or right from the top? Going out on 10th March and was hoping that the conditions up top would still be holding up OK?
re: Borovets ski conditions.
Yeah, also going out on the 10th too. Bit worried now after that fair ski report above.. oh well, cant do anything about it... gotta crack on.re: Borovets ski conditions.
You need snow. FACT!I got back on Saturday and Friday it was unbearable and dangerous in places. The top of the gondola is still OK but fading, the lower slopes are just awful.
If you get snow it will change everything I promise but you need a good 12 inches
re: Borovets ski conditions.
I agree with Jumper the lower slopes are awlful. Even the red slopes to the halfway station were bad on Friday. The very top is ok but that's just green and blue. Not good for advanced skiersre: Borovets ski conditions.
I agree - was feeling sorry for people that were going on sat cos our week was great but by friday was very bag.As im a boarder I couldn't afford to go on icey or bad runs cos i just was loosing so much edge grip and control.
Had brilliant time but feel sorry for people going soon - hope you get good dump of the white gold
