Went to Borovets for christmas last year, thinking of going for Easter 2010, does anyone know what the snow conditions are normally like late March early April, I know nothing is guaranteed but over the past years have it been worth going this late in the season
re: Snow at Easter
Hi there,
Last season we had a lot of snow in March and could
ski untill 10th of April.Yes,nothing is guaranteed and
dont forget the snow is not powder this time of the year,
but who cares,we still could ski
Thanks

Due to the inconcistancy over the last few years, personally I would say booking for Easter is taking a huge risk
re: Snow at Easter
We went week after Easter this year, beg April. Plenty of snow, weather fab. Got very hot, we were sunbathing at the top of mountain and the walkers were just wearing shorts!!!Skiing good in the morning but got heavy going later in the afternoon.
We booked a couple of weeks before we went so knew snow was there. Would love to go again but would recommend booking last minute.
Hope this helps, Amanda

Hi Carolyn,
Think PP is mistaken there. Look at the archive photos via the webcams on this site. Easter next year is 2nd April, at the same time last year all three main BG resorts had good snow covering. Pamps probably the best for a change ( which I'm suprised PP didnt point out!! lol)
We were in Bansko early April this year and the conditions were good and the slopes quiet, in fact friends of mine were skiing
there late April.
Weather is always a risk, but not as much a risk as ...

re: Snow at Easter
Given that the lifts closed in mid-April in bansko this year, I very much doubt that your mates were skiing there at that time. That said, early April is usually OK - but the last couple of years have been rescued by late season dumps. Late march 08 was a disaster until a big dump in early April made it a wonderful end of season. Given the cheap hotel deals that can be made at this time, I'd always advise waiting until the last minute to see where has the best snow.re: Snow at Easter
we went last easter....brilliant,I think easter is earlier this year, but weve booked with the view that if you get to ski its a bonus, we just love bansko for a retreat... re: Snow at Easter
Have it your way - but having been to Bulgaria skiing over 20 times I'll stick to my comments that it is still a huge risk to book to go skiing over Easter.PP
re: Snow at Easter
I'm agreeing with PP on this one!!!
re: Snow at Easter
PPGoing to Pamps is always a risk, and you are probably right about that place, but if you read the post she is asking about Borovets, come on sonny wake up!!
