No, the gondola was shut today & will remain so until we get more snow. They've now stopped telling us it's due to "strong winds" and are now being honest & saying it's because there is no snow.
Yastrebetz is good until mid morning when it is literally sheet ice.
Hi guys, sos for delay. The posts are right above that Yastrebets 2 'okish' today... We went up to Borovets tonight and cannons had stopped working again but the weird thing is that down here (Samokov) the temps are low enough for the cannons. Will try and find out more!
Morning All!! Ok, update so far this morning.... Once again there are several buses going to Bansko, as before, 60lev if you don't have ski school / lessons etc. You also need to pay for your lift pass when you get there, but most people who arrived in the last couple of days seem to have chosen not to buy a pass in Boro, so at least they are only paying once.

The 4 man chair (Yastrebets 2) is working and as per yesterday, Borosport are organising free shuttles - in both directions. In front of the Rila there is practically nothing in terms of snow coverage, although the 2 drags are still open. Up the top, no change so there's no point the gondola opening - the main problem up there has been the wind - not only did that initially stop the gondola, but it also blew away all the snow.,,
Sorry I can't be any more helpful, but email me direct/ post on here if there's any more questions I can answer for you!
And...just had a call and snow cannons are not working but the snow on Yastrebets 2 is softer (more powdery) than yesterday and is really good up there at the moment. It is also much quieter as quite a few people (buses) have gone to Bansko.
