Conditions in Pamporovo

Hi, I'm just about to head out to Pamporovo for the first time and have been keeping a close eye on the snow report on the website.
It looks like it's all started to go wrong just before I come out! The webcam is showing lots of bare patches although the report claims there's 110cm and excellent skiing conditions!
Can someone please tell me what the piste conditions are currently like in Pamporovo, and if there is any snow, is it likely to be maintained over the next week?!!
ta,

Did you see the snowfigures too???

re: Conditions in Pamporovo

Thanks Tanjette - so it's due to snow a bit more over the weekend!
I saw the snowfigures which are good, but the webcam didn't look so good, so I thought I'd see if anyone out there could tell me more.
Leaving Sunday and really looking forward to it!

re: Conditions in Pamporovo

those webcams are in the lower parts!
Never mind the weather, just each morning wake up and check the sky! or follow the morningnews on the BG channels!

re: Conditions in Pamporovo

The webcam is at the very bottom on a small nursery slope. Dont worry. On the main green run there is also snow machines that compensate. Enjoy. Im jealous

your not alone DW

re: Conditions in Pamporovo

the snow is slushy at the bottom, but still ok at the top...the ski instructors have more or less finished now for the season, just a few still working, the ones that are not working are still going to Pamps each day to ski - so the snow must be ok for them.
