Snow and forecast - Bansko?

Hi all,

I'm getting to Bansko this Friday to ski...
How is the snow & forecast? Will I be able to ski, or should I start thinking of alternative plans?

Thanks!

re: Snow and forecast - Bansko?

As winter has effectively turned to spring, things are not great... That said the temps are low enough overnight to keep the cannons running, and more runs are opening.
Forecast wise (don't believe em !) they are saying temps returning to average around 20th, and possibility of snow is much greater...

Alright. So I'm going day after tomorrow. Will there be ski at all?

If I want to go someplace with snow from Sofia - what's the cheapest possibility?

Thanks

Hi people.
I'm sorry for jumping this up - but I do want to check my options before it's too late. Is there any ski resort I can get to from Sofia for cheap that will actually have snow next week?...

thanks!

I think your best option is Bansko itself.
It has the highest altitude and most snow canons.
