New snow cannons in Pamps

They have plenty of water this time and I understand there will be about 170 cannons in total. Was dissaponted last Christmas when I went there as there was no skiing of any worth till after the holidays but def going back for this Christmas. Heard also that they might be getting ...

Heard also that they might be getting commercial flights into Plovdiv now the new terminal is open. Are things looking up? Very Happy

re: New snow cannons in Pamps

Hi Sagexpert, excellent news about the snow canons and the flights in to Plovdiv.
I have been trying to book flights in to Plovdiv without much success for a while now, thought it was just me not being able to find any.
I was looking a few weeks ago for a couple of familys who will be renting our house in Momchilovtsi near Pamporovo late december and new year.
Getting more Plovdiv flights will be great for both pamps and bansko, thanks for the update.. See its not all doom and gloom as ...

re: New snow cannons in Pamps

NOBODY in the right frame of mind BUILDS IN SKI RESORT LOWER THAN1800M THESE DAYS.
FACT
Plenty of resorts in Austria lower than 1800m FACT.
Infact i was in Kitzbuhel mid March with good snow cover down to 800m.
Personaly i dont feel any of the three resorts in Bg can compare to some of the places in France/Italy/Austria etc, They are what they are small family resorts that can be done on a budget...............
Of course new snow cannons will help when the temperature is right

This thread doesn't make sense. Is there something missing?

re: New snow cannons in Pamps

Regardless of the snow cannons, the air temperature was too warm last year to use them. You can have every square inch covered but if it is too warm they cannot be used.

I dount the ground and air temperature in early December will be low enough for them to be used
