One of the best runs the Masala, the idea is to go from top to bottom with out putting the brakes on. As Gerry says, will have you grinning like a Cheshire cat Very Happy Very Happy as long of course if it has some snow on it!

I was skiing Yastrebets yesterday and they were very good, they are at their best if you go as soon as the chair lift opens at 8.30, they are bashed from the night before, I like corduroy, and there are very few people about.

I don't want to put a dampner on it but really will need a lot more snow for that to be open. As the others state, that run is also best when nobody else is there as you will need to go straight to enjoy it fully imo.

Fingers crossed for a massive dump but its not looking promising the weathe reports arent promising much in the way of snow and not enough to open the Musala, but you never know a drop of a few degrees and a change of wind direction and all that could change.
Rest assured i will be fully kitted out and i agree a helmet is an essential

Hi emjay

That sounds interesting. Where do you turn left? Would it be suitable for boarding?
