Reasons behind booking

Just wondering what basis the guys that book for early in the season make there decision on?
Can never understand why people book so early in the season when the snow has been very poor at this stage for the last 3 years then post everyday worrying about the lack of snow .
Is it just price?
im not being ignorant here i just want to know the thoughts behind it ,thats all

I went this time last year and there was plenty of snow, that why i'm worrying haha!!

re: Reasons behind booking

Thing is a lot of people would see it online or the brochure and think ski resort at Xmas must be snow! I know I would you can't blame people for expecting snow.

re: Reasons behind booking

Probably most have set holidays (and school holidays for us - no half term for our kids) - and that's why they have booked.

re: Reasons behind booking

snow is expected otherwise insurance companies would exclude bulgaria from policies

I am travelling out on the 9th to Boro for my 4th ski holiday in early Jan on the trot.
We have never had a problem with the conditions, in fact there was that much snow last year they had to divert the plane to a coastal airport and we lost a days skiing!
2 weeks to go
