Pamps 17 Feb Depending on the HORN STAR

Hornster

Going Pamps from Dublin feb 17th with family.

Your forecats have improved the mood over last few weeks no end (Almost tempted to rename you HORN STAR)and now things look good for Bansko,Borovets later this week.

However can you give an honest assessment on hopes of decent snow in Pamps to mid Feb. Looks like it needs a fair dump of snow to establish any kind of decent snow base (freeze thaw) on pistes.

Was there last year same time and skiing was ok with big dump on last day to lift spirits, hate to think things wont improve at all this time.

Keep up the good work.

Heading with a group from Belfast on 17th February. Was talking recently to a few Bulgarian friends. They are very hopeful of good snow within the next few weeks.
We were supposed to stay in Snezhanka apartments but our tour operator moved us to the Perilik hotel.
Check before you go that there is a roof on your room!!!!

KJ, I'm sure that you will appreciate the 17th February (and that next week) is so far ahead that it is not even showing on any of the weather models/charts as yet.

Because Pamps is at a much lower altitude that Borovets and Bansko and therefore the freezing level will spend more time above the Pamps summits and is quite a long way away from either of those higher altitude resorts, the amount of snowfall compared to Bansko and Borovets is always going to be slightly less.

I can, however, tell you that there will defintely be fresh snowfalls in Pamps and below freezing temepratures late this week and into next week. I reckon that you should be fine for that week, but I will have a much better idea closer to the time. Ask me closer to the time.
