re: Borovets web cam - again

when there is no snow or very limited the cameras go wrong.the same thing happens everywhere around the ski resorts in short massaging the facts.
one drag on the top of the mountain-markudjik1 and the baby drags at the bottom in front Rila hotel working and there is hope for the one run on the 4 seater infront the Rila to open with artificial snow.very crowded everywhere few hours wait for ther gondola in the morning and then 1 hour for each very quick run.the snow is just not enough .

Mr Burns click on the link tomorrow and that will give you an up to date idea on what the conditions are like as if you listen to Ski Bum you may just give up on skiing once and for all...

re: Borovets web cam - again

so is the skidvd camera telling me anything.No.When you take foto take it honestly and with great detail.even if you are sending it as a MMS via your fone the quality should be much better. The REAL facts from today are EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THEM : 2 runs in Boro and 2 short ones in Bansko plus the ski road back town .Even the locals know that at the moment nobody goes skiing unless booked well in advance.many of the BG are on a party holiday up untill the end of school ...

The REAL facts from today are EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THEM : 2 runs in Boro and 2 short ones in Bansko plus the ski road back town .Even the locals know that at the moment nobody goes skiing unless booked well in advance.many of the BG are on a party holiday up untill the end of school holiday and only after that when the snow conditions get better they will start going up the mountain.look in Sofia that there are no cars with ski roofs yet.THE SNOW IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A GOOD BASE .Lets hope the things will get much better and very soon.my tourists are taken to Maliovitsa ski place if beginners where at least the lift card is 7 leva-£2.50.for the same amount of skiing for a day.otherwise in Borovets the choice is: buy for 50 lv-(£18pound )lift pass and then ski for say-few minutes -the rest is wait- one good thing is sunbathing up the top .then at 4pm when you decide to come back with all the others back to base there is a 2 hours wait(that is 2 hours on 2300 meters above sea and a bit windy.TODAY THE GONDOLA WAS OPENED UNTIL 7PM so all the tourist can get back somehow.the hope is for the manmade run under the 4 seater chair to open .
what do you want me to say- do you want me to lie and say -grreaat skiing when there is not much at all.better to stick to the facts and let everyone decide for themselves.this is a forum not an advertising board for a travel company or somebody with direct financial interests for making the place looking great.that is why the people look into these places for honest unbiased unhindered ,independent and impartial advise where you will find what people think....WHETHER YOU WANT TO HEAR IT OR NOT.correct me if I am wrong.Correct me if you thing the price of a lift pass (50 leva-26euros) is a good one.corect me if you thing that the ratio ski runs lenghts to price is one of a quiality,correct me if the Plan B for say Pamporovo or Borovets is a good one.correct me if you think the prices in the resort -say up the mountain to eat drink or snack are reasonably priced.come on.maybe I missed something vital.I have been around the mountains since age of 4 done alot of skiing,racing, ski teaching ski news broadcasting and now I am doing it for pleasure and looking it as a father of 2 young ski racers.I can say that I am connected strongly with the mountains so Please let me know if I am wrong with some of the facts.

re: Borovets web cam - again

business everywhere is the same.if I have to be 100% honest for everything I will go bankruped straight away.but this is different matter.Still waiting to hear if there are any corrections.Please dont just pick and choose something from my post and ignore the rest.Why do I take interest in this board?-why not.are real views not allowed on this site?are the facts forbidden there?This is very good that some dr.dolittle can talk to all creatures great and small.No comment Very Happy
