Going to Bansko on Saturday so hopefully things will be picking up. The webcams look pretty good

re: Good skiing ahead...

Lets be honest, if they have had to close the pistes today at Pamps because of lack of snow things must be pretty bad

Especially for them to do this in January

Snow may well be due, but I doubt 10cm is going to be enough even if that falls all the down. A lot lot more will be needed to get things back on track and a big drop in temperatures

I’m due out 7th March and have asked crystalski what happens if the pistes are closed on the run up to departure, will they cancel ...

The lifts in Pamps were closed today due to high winds, but don't know about the snow conditions or lack of snow.

Benson...yes, I suppose I haven't been on the forum as much as usual but that is only because, unfortunately, I will not be going to Bansko this season as we have decided to go back to Japan (Niseko) one more time to enjoy the awesome powder conditions that they are famed for. Will probably be back to Bansko next season though.
Saying that, I still keep an eye on this forum from time to time regardless. Are you off to Bulgaria this season or have you been already?

Take a look at the Bansko webcams on this website and you will see the snow clouds have started rolling in - good to see!

re: Good skiing ahead...

But what about the Borovets webcam on the homepage here? It is showing today's date but surely there is not that much snow at the bottom given all the reports and the pics on the skidvd link above...

Anyone in Boro at the moment?
