Enough snow?

Im leaving UK on April 3rd (a week from now) for a week at Borovets. I can't wait, but looking at the webcam the bottom slope is getting a bit week, and the temperatures down the bottom are a bit high (9C a few days ago).

I know there's gunna be plenty of snow and cold up the top of the mountain, but im only a beginner and I understood the higher slopes were harder. Will the instructors take us up the gondala anyway?

PS - Anyone else going same time?

re: Enough snow?

there is enough snow on the top 3 pistes - Markudjik 1 to 3, to stay until mid-April, provided t doesn't get even warmer. but the snow there today was quite heavy and wet.

the 2 easier pistes in the very resort still ok, are really getting thin.

Easy slopes at the top of the gondola dude. The 1st one at the top of the gondola is perfect for beginners.
And anyway the harder the run you go on the faster you learn (or die trying...)

have fun
