Skiing in Dec in Bulgaria

A large group of us want to go Skiing in Bulgaria over Christmas. We know it is early in the season but does anyone know from experience if this is too early in the season to be guaranteed snow. I realise that you can never guarantee snow, but as none of us have ever been to Bulgaria we thought we’d ask for some advice.

We went last xmas. When we got there on the 20th Dec there was about 8 inches of snow but it snowed for 4 days and there was loads of snow. It was so good to have a white Xmas,
