Bulgaria Ski discussion board

does the weather have to be before they close the lifts in Boro ?

Is it just a factor of wind or it also if visibility is real bad due to snow/mist ?

I see the the wind is forecast to get up next weekend when we arrive...so just wondering if this will affect the slopes.

It currently says 13mph - 17mph not sure if that is bad but it is currently sat at 5 - 6 mph.

I am no John Ketley so looking for inspiration from those more experienced !

Would hate to spend the first 2 days on the



Cheers,

PS - I think could handle that on second thoughts !

It will need to be pretty horrendous before they would consider closing the pistes. The winds would need to be A LOT more severe that 15 - 17km/h I can assure you. Even "usual" blizzards wouldn't close the pistes as this happens fairly often during periods of heavy snow. You wouldn't however, want to go off-piste without checking with the local guides office because lots of fresh snow also means avalanche risk! But because the pistes get groomed every day there is little or no risk of avalanches on the "tourist" slopes.

You may have a particularly cold and blowy days skiing if the weather is bad, but i doubt that they would close the pistes and shut down the ski lifts etc.
