Due to other commitments myself and a couple of others are now looking at only being able to go skiing possibly in the middle of March. We usually go the first week of march to Pamporovo or Borovets and have never been let down in terms of snow. (Always plenty of it) Does anyone have experience of the afore mentioned resorts and bansko from previous years from middle of march onwards in terms of skiing and level of crack. I'd be grateful of any feedback on this one
Snowparole, I have been Mid March to Pamps 4 times all around the 14th.
2 times in 98 & 99 loads of snow. 2001 very poor unable to get beyond the tunnel by the middle of the week. Last time in 2003 was ok but by end of the week skiing was on slush at the bottom.
So I managed to ski each time 01 and 03 topped up the tan! The resort is nice and quiet at this time of year. Would I go again? Yes but would book last minute if the snow looked good.
If i am going it will have to be from Saturday 17th March as I'm in Edinburgh the week before to watch Ireland stuffing Scotland at rugby.
Does anyone know anything about bansko this time of the year?
