re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

are ya sure? Cos if little/no skiing poss then we'd rather cancel n book for december time...still thinkin maybe a better idea to do that!

re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

hi m we are also going on the 23rd march.you have lots for snow on the top of the mountain ,if you book for december it is likley that it wont be as packed on the top of the mountain.there is snow coming but how much is anyones guess the weather is turning colder so more chance of the snow cannons working,go on you will have a great time.

re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

Unfortunately, it is always a gamble with nature. It's been known for no snow in Europe at Christmas.

There is currently 1m+ of snow on the top. The Bulgarian Ski Team use Borovets in April for trials and competitions as there is always snow on the top and very few tourists.

Good luck

re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

If there is 1m of snow on the top, how come the dirt is coming through some of the pistes? There is a good hard pack and the top is 1000 metres higher than the resort so temperatures are rarely much above freezing. Late snow is a feature of Bulgaria but if you are beginners there will be more than enough for you to use even if there is nothing more before the end of the year. Additionally, there is rarely much snow in December - it was extremely early this season.

Hi wil...u going to borovets that date too? Where ya staying? u been b4?

re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

Go
you will regret it if you dont.

As been said its only on the rila mountain that the snow is not to good and that on the lower runs and the green run.

If you dont mind ques and drag lifts then goto the yastrebets mountain,there`s plenty to be getting on with.

m, me amd the kids have been out 2 of the last 3 years and had lots of snow around Easter. We plan to do the top runs after 2 days of lessons this year as it looks like theres not a lot of snow at the bottom and none forcast.

there are training slopes at the top and they are great fun. Were out on the 23rd staying in boro and still looking fwd 2 it.

re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

great thanx...where you staying?

re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

m if you dont want to go dont worry il go in your place lol

re: Cancel Borovets trip or not?!

Its true what has been said by others. Last year around this time there was hardly any snow in the village and the bottom by the Rila was just mud. Up top there was loads of snow with nice gentle slopes for beginners.
