Pamps conditions

Great conditions inPamps at the moment - most of the main runs are open and very few icy/bare patches.

Disappointed that Smolyan lakes run isnt open - it seems like they have pretty much abandoned this run as it doesnt seem to be pisted redardless of the snow depth. Surprised that they havent pisted the half pipe + also a few of the shorter runs are still closed.

Main problem on Sunday was the number of people due to BG and Turkey half terms - never seen so many people here + 1 hour ...

Main problem on Sunday was the number of people due to BG and Turkey half terms - never seen so many people here + 1 hour queue for the 3 man lift at the bottom of the green run. Better today + should beok after tomorrow as the holidays will have ended.

Hi Joff

What is the snow depth like there? Do you think maybe the Lakes needs another big run to dump to open up? Interesting that smaller runs aren't open? Which are they as official site seems to suggest pretty much all open.

Cheers

Hi Josh

Most of the main runs are open, the right fork of the Stoikite is signposted as closed but we went down today + cant really see why it is closed off - by mid afternoon lots of people were on it.

Not sure why the half pipe hasnt been opened as there seems to be plenty of snow - the red just above the snowboard park is also closed as is the short blue run off the green toward the top (sorry dont know the official names!).

I honestly dont think that they plan to open the Smolyan lakes again - it wasnt open last year when there was tons of snow.

re:Pamps conditions

How was it today Joff? Any more open up? Maybe we should all start petitioning them on facebook or something?!

Hi PV

Village is looking great. Great food in the restaurant + pretty busy. Unsurprisingly Spa still isnt open!

Hi Josh

Conditions still very good - no more runs open but snow cannons going all day on the half pipe so assume they will be looking to piste this soon. Havent been on any of the runs down to the 3 man at Malina due to horrendous queues but kids back to school now so will hit them tomorrow.
