re: December Snowboarding
Hi Dan,Cannot think of a better place for (all) snowboarders to go than Bansko in December.
S.P.
re: December Snowboarding
Difficult question Dan,Early Dec should be kept at arms length but snow cannons do normally allow a degree of boarding.
Later in the month tends to fair better condition wise as most European resorts.
Either way grab the bull be its horns, shell out and head over, you will have a great time and at good value for your money.
If you need any help drop us an email

Have to agree with B.T.I. DanAny time before Christmas week is a bit of a gamble, last season was excellent. If you can do any weeks say from Jan21st to end of March is a good bet of getting some edges on.
Keep an eye on the board for the winter build-up and you will pick up good information.

Hi Dan,to give you a better picture check out the snowfall records back to 2008:

As you will see not a great deal, but worth a gamble as we have to be a better place to be than the UK for Christmas and it will still be a white one

Being honest, and along the lines of what BTI has said, Chrimble can be risky snow wise, but that said, with 220 snow cannons coverage even for early Dec will be substantial.. There is another consideration, it can be blooming busy, the Christmas/new year attracting the largest numbers... All said, it can be great, deffo the best value for the period, bars are busy, and quite a good atmosphere... give it a gore: December Snowboarding
Thank you for all the great advice,Steve C, 220 snow cannons! Wow! how many runs does this cover and when do they normally turn these on? If we came before Christmas would we have something to snowboard on between the 15th and 22nd of December? As long as its better than the wet slopes here I'm sure we'd book up now as we can get a good deal on flights.
How much are the ski pass's too for 6 days?
Do the cannons come on because christmas gets busy?
Thanks!
