re: OVER DRESSED
i have lived here (Bulgaria) for three years. first year it got down to -20c the second -27c and last year as you know, the not very cold at all, I would not cut down just in case.re: OVER DRESSED
OUCH........ -27c that's nuts, I came back with a tanned face this year and that's no joke, i did'nt even wear my ski gloves, and I would have ski'd in jeans and a sweatshirt if I could keep up-right for more than 4 inutes at a time !!re: OVER DRESSED
Take each day/ hour as it comes. Up a mountain things can and do change in a matter of minutes.As my old cub scout master use to say Be prepared.
re: OVER DRESSED
As the scout master said be prepared, top of Borovets was minus 18 the other year and chin was exposed to the elements, felt like i had just shaved with a blunt rusty bic razor
re: OVER DRESSED
Then dropped on the ol vinegar for the smells ouch!re: OVER DRESSED
We were in Pamps at the beginning of February, landed the day it snowed. When it was snowing it was very cold only got warmer and needed to wear less layers later in the week when the sun came out.re: OVER DRESSED
Some days It was -15 in 06 at Pamps, even on warm days I still took extra layers for the kids in my back pack, if I didn't they'd just pinch my scarf, hat etc when the sun went in. As arron said be prepared for the worse, you can always strip off.
re: OVER DRESSED
If I stripped off on the slopes it would be cold as i would block the sun out !!AA...it's good to see a few of the regulars are up and about this morning
I think i'll take my full kit bag just in case of a cold snap.
re: OVER DRESSED
Unfortunately I'm off to a funeral this morningI've got a photo from last year of an Old Bulgarian Guy walking down the mountain topless, and all of us in snow gear, looks funny.
Hope its a bit colder this year
