Rocks showing in Bansko

Could anyone tell me where the rocks are showing through the snow? Are they on green, blue, red or black runs as there are mixed reports and a group of us are going on the 11th March.

Skiid all the mountain last week and there were only odd patches that used to get a bit bare on some runs by the end of the day but these were normally repaired by the morning. My advice is to be on the slopes early . This way you always get the best conditions. Some slopes never showed any rocksand the green run was OK all day.
The snow road can be a problem but if you are carefull it is ok.

It's changing on a daily basis due to the very high temps. I noticed a few rocks coming through on the blue 5 and 10 at the end of last week, with some muddy looking snow on some of the steep bits - showing that it's getting a bit thin. The upper reds weren't bad, but very bumpy, which may cause problems if you're a boarder. I wouldn't go off-piste if I were you... even if it's only slightly. One thing's for sure, it's melting fast!

There are also quite a few loose small rocks to watch out for. My skis were shreded after a week.
