Ski Vitosha - advice please?

Hi all,

I'm planning to visit Sofia from for 4 days from 16th Jan. I'm hoping to do some skiing and have been trying to find information about Vitosha, as this looks to be the easiest resort to access from the capital. Although the piste map indicates a lack of runs, I figure it'll be sufficient to occupy an intermediate such as myself for 2 days. However, looking at the skivitosha website (using google to translate), it seems there are only 3 pistes open at the moment.

Can anyone ...

Can anyone who knows the resort offer advice, particularly about the number of runs available? Is it possible to hire ski equipment in the resort?

Am I better off trying a different resort?

Any information greatly appreciated!

well i happened to be looking at the site a week or so ago... and only one run was open, the red run with snow cannons... so it is likely that 3 runs is now correct.

There is only 2 runs open showing, the red with snow cannons (which is also open for night skiing), and a nursery slope.
