Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi Guys,

We came last year Jan 20th and thought we would come last week of Feb as heard good reports about the snow in the past.

Althought good conditions at the top of the mountain it's a heatwave at the bottom.

Yesterday the high at Rila was 17 degrees celcius and today the high is 20 degrees. Even at the top it must be 6-8 plus degrees.

I had to go out and buy a thin bandana last night to protect my head today from the sun as I skied the whole day yesterday with no gloves, no hat or jacket and my head got so sunburnt.

There are a few burnt faces and heads around today. We will be staying at the top of the mountain for the next few days doing the red runs and drag lifts as the Rila side of the mountain is quite wet, muddy and slushy.

The depth of the snow of the runs is really good just a shame it has gone so warm. We did the Musala for the last few days that we didn't get to do last year. It's a really good run down the mountain but we won't be able to do it tomorrow as some of the run will have gone to full mud and rocks.

Any questions let me know and we hope and pray for low temps and snow hehe
