Musala pathway, Borovets

I'm wondering if someone can answer my question?
The musala pathway states that it is the easiest way down from the top of the mountain, it has green dots on the map, but from what i can see it isn't a green, can anyone who knows or who has skied it let me no what it is and what it is like? cheers

hi macy.
unless you are a competant skier/rock climber do not attempt this pathway, it was only opened last season and it still needs time to develope etc. I was out there last week the red closed messing was across it meaning closed.

s.p.

if you get chance to ski or board down it do it... its a great trail.. narrow but fab. not to steep some short steep bits by the bridges but not a prob if you can control ur speed... pimp x

Well worth skiing.

It is narrow and you need to take care first time down as there are a few tight corners that creep up on you and you need to check your speed. Once you've skiied it a few times though and got to know it you'll love it

Don't ski this trail if it isn't open.
It is used even as hiking path so you have to handle hikers or walkers, in most cases older people, so be careful. The bridges are not in good conditions and the piste is small, with a lot of rocks and icy patches.
