The temps are cold over night, below zero and forecasted to be colder later in the week. There are some runs pisted so keeping everything crossed. Open day is Saturday .....

It's always very risky to consider booking a ski holiday in Bulgaria in December.

Late Jan to mid April will not be a problem but going early it's a big gamble. (Do the tour operators have lower prices in December accordingly?)

Does not help anyone already booked,but we have not found it worth going until at least January. Last year we thought it would be nice to be there at the start of the season but there was no skiing at all in Boro. A few people on packages were bussed out to Bansko

Yep, we had no idea the Crystal rep at the Snow Centre in Hemel reassured us that there would be snow in December ...but we should have known better will wait till Jan/Feb next time Sad

More pics have been released, the canons have been working and pisting team working to prepare the runs for the weekend. The preparations look good, and a large percentage of runs are covered by canons. Temps are colder today ....... which will help.

I saw some pics on Facebook and the pistes looked OK to Ski with that cannons on full whack over the last few days.

Snowforecast.com shows a few cm due so fingers crossed. Usually with the amount of cannons ...

Just had 9 pics posted by Pamporovo resort on Facebook and if they are to be believed (and I've no reason not to) conditions look great Smile
