Popangelov ski run closed

Hi all,

I'm a long time reader, first time poster on this forum.

I'm off to Brorovets on Saturday and like most, I am watching the weather/snow reports. I see today that the Yestrebets 2/Popangelov ski run is closed. Does anyone know why this is?

Tipster,
I do not know the exact cause of the closure but it could be likely that snow cover is not sufficient to operate the run. All three yastrabets runs can become quite rocky in patches below the gondola mid station level and this may be why. Perhaps someone who is out there may be able to give more information.

Might be an Avalanche risk today as it is snowing? Fraser might shed some light on it.

Ah, I didn't think about avalanche risks. Hopefully that's it rather than lack of snow Smile
