I would have thought it would be sunnies weather rather than goggles!

Skiing good on top and until 1300 then even there gets slushy until 1500.for the lower runs it is pain.
Maybe night skiing at base when temps lower but looks that is not going to happen in few days anyway.
Iastrebets pistes are North facing and are probably best.
Ski road down to base best via Iastrebets down to gondola.Mussala Pathway is heavy all the way down.ski most of the runs until 11-12 and then it is not point .

With the fast melting at base there is a BIG Qmark if the runs in front hotels will hold for more than one week.(Just too hot not stop)
One week ago I was very confident there will be good few weeks left at least apres Paques but not so sure looking at the situation right now.
Don't forget it is end of March and usually season is about to close so anything beyond now is fine.
If you are going for Easter I strongly suggest do it last minute is possible if you don't want to get long face when you arrive.
Borovets looks browner and durtier now the snow is melting.
The picture perfect was beginning of Feb and up to about one month ago.
From there onwards there was is and will be compromises .
Resort looks quite (last desperados shouting to invite you to get in their bars and spent some cash.
Few and far between .
Just end of season
I can smell it in the air( the sewage from the hotels has started to be felt down below).
The locals have saying:
-it is smelling of western toiletaries-the winter must be coming to an end.
After all of that E weeks will be OK from now.after that it is hit and miss.

Simon it is most definitely sunglasses weather as Snow White says. I have worn them all week with mainly a T-Shirt or a soft shell at most. Very warm here, we have found that it is best to get up early as skiing past 2pm is tricky due to the hot weather.Tom, thank you I'm sure we will meet
Last day today so up the Gondola early and it's already hot! Lunch in White House then in Bobby's by 3 for last night shenanigans.
A&C
