Steve - snow cannons are there BUT they cannot work if the temps are not right - so it is a WEATHER issue not Boro!

Agree though - it is a total b*mmer and possibly other higher resorts would give better conditions BUT - it is never guaranteed wherever you go - that is the unortunate gamble of booking a ski hol - it can also change overnight - one BIG dump and all will be OK - I DO hope it comes SOON!!!

No snowboarders just snorkelling if the weather doesn't improve! Very Happy

Hi m,

Am currently at Bansko (slightly higher elevation than Borovets, similar aspect, and not far away, so similar weather) and have given up even going out on the slopes. Everything except the very top of the mountain is slush (would be easier with water skis!), and the top is so busy that it gets completely cut up by about 10am. No runs have been closed yet, but I would expect virtually all the lower runs to be closed within the next week or so. This isn't really an issue with ...

This isn't really an issue with Bansko, but is a weather issue that doesn't look like improving any time soon. The forecast for the next week and a half is for occasional rain and freezing level just above the top level of the resort.
