In Pamps, over the far side of the tower, there is a littie-used yellow chairlift which I believe goes to Smolyan (or at least in that direction).I spent some time looking around when I was these in Feb, but I couldn't see a marked piste heading off in that direction. Is it possible to ski from the tower down to the bottom of that lift ? If so, what colour run is it please ?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I believe it is called the slope to the Lakes. It is possible to ski down but it was closed.
I think it is a red and I think to get to it you ski down the Blue where the snowboarders are, right down to the button lift, just passed there I saw a slope Closed off. I think this is where the slope carrys on to the bottom of the chair lift.
I may be wrong, i've never been down there,
but was told that you need to make sure you get time to get the chair lift back up before it ...

re: Smolyan Run
Yes it does go to the lakes and there is a long double chairlift that takes you back to the top near the tower.
It is accessed by skiing straight past the button lift on the back blue. The run is no more than a blue but with some narrow bits to contend with. There ia a also quite a bit of walking to do unless you get up a lot of speed in the right places. Because much of this run is tree-lined it is probably the slope with the least amount of snow on and is often the last slope to open in ...

re: Smolyan Run
Thanks folks, we will give it a go next year.re: Smolyan Run
We snowboarded this run in Feb. Loved it nice and deep poweder but thinned a little towards the bottom where the sun had worked it's magic.Also notice a new lift station towards Smolyan (just down from the lakes) that will service Mt Perelik. (
re: Smolyan Run
our ski instructor said that it needed a lot of snow to be skiiable, the lift is apparently mostly used by people from smoylan who just use it to get to and from the peaki like that back blue, but the run in to the tow is a nightmare, all it needs is for the lift guy to get a skovel and chuck some snow on the run in to it and it would be fine but they didnt
re: Smolyan Run
Isn't that the run that has the new lifts on it, when we were there Feb looked to be well on the way to being finished??re: Smolyan Run
The new lift to Stoikite runs at a slightly different angle to the blue over the backre: Smolyan Run
the lift to Stoikite is going to be really long, but im not sure if they have made an extra few runs yet, it will probably be just a link to more apartments in Stoikite for people to ski on the 25Km of runs at pamps
