hi there, am at borovets at the moment and yes it has been raining today, but to be honest it helped soften the ice. its been getting treacherous on the nursery slopes by the rila for the last couple of days. the temps have varied from 7 c to 4 c, so mild, and the husband of one of the women on my ski class broke his arm snowboarding on the nursery slopes.
the conditions at the gondola are great, loads of snow, no ice, but the lower slopes are all pretty ropey.
more snow is due thurs ...

more snow is due thurs according to the instructors, so fingers crossed.
having a great time, but prices have indeed doubled since last year, and so with the mixture of poor conditions and higher prices we certainly wont be coming back.

yeh yeh, go somewhere cheaper then...boring, anyway it was fairly heavey snow up top, and it got quite cold. The resort is defin two parts at the moment, though it was fine at the top of the new four man rila side today. the gondola side and markdjuk runs are fantastic at the moment. Over ten cms due tomorrow night so fingers crossed

Rain is not good can't believe it is so mild at 1300 metres, but to be fair the south of England is very mild at 12 C today which is unusually high for Feb - damn global warming!

re: It's Raining in Borovets now

it seems that most of the reports about icey slopes, rain etc are coming from people who are on the nursery slopes...the top of the mountain is always gonna be good whatever the condition is in the village...last year i was skiing in a t-shirt up top then having to put on a coat as you came down thru the clouds cos it was lashing down....get up the top will ya

It wasn't even that cold up the top last Jan when I went - damn global warming - no need for thermals at any time...
