re: RAIN!!!!!!!

Bansko is also blighted by pretty awful snow conditions. No rain as yet (and no snow) but still very warm and the pistes are now looking bad and are quite dangerous with large rocks projecting through the snow even on the higher runs.

The ski run home was (10 minutes ago) just about the best place to be (the top blue is OK and that part of the top red that is open is OK). Whilst the ski run home is very easy at least there was no one on it and it has been pretty well maintained.

Our apartment overlooks the ice skating rink….it melts ever day and as I type this it has already turned to water!

re: RAIN!!!!!!!

Andy, and I have just got myself Winter Sport insurance in case someone idiot tries to get me on skis. Sounds like I may have wasted my pennies.

Never mind, I am there for 3 weeks and the weather is so unpredictable we could end up with a 3 foot dump (wishful thinking maybe).

Look forward to meeting you all next week. Don't forget to air the basque and fishnets etc. Very Happy

Love to my little friend

re: RAIN!!!!!!!

Sorry Andie, I did suggest it Crying Perhaps someone is telling us 2 old biddies not to try the skiing

Cant get used to this terminology - I always relate to a good dump as a good ----! Wink

re: RAIN!!!!!!!

Oooh Carole - you are naughty.

But, I am sure we can find a little bit of snow somewhere so that we can fall gracefully on our buts every 5 seconds Razz Razz

re: RAIN!!!!!!!

I've been having a recurring nightmare of boarding down tarmac in Bansko next week. It's horrible.
I hope it's not a premonition!
All the forecasts are saying different things. What are the chances of snow for next week??
So disappointing, I hope it improves and my horrible dream doesn't come true.... Crying
