Snow cover from March 17

Will be in Borovets with two mates from March 17rd to March 23rd. Its end of season I know, and the price of the holiday no doubt reflects the conditions for skiing.

How bad can I expect it to be?

Going out on 17th March and will be our 9th time in Borovets. Have been Christmas, February but usually go end of season and have yet to be disappointed. Last year went 25th March to 2nd April. It was a bit patchy in resort but skiable but great up top. Very warm in resort. Conditions look even better this year so you should be fine and Tomi is right....some great bargains and not bad gear if you don't mind the "snide" option.

Ski boots are usually plentiful but talk to the ski instructors, they always know a "man who can" and will get you a great deal. Resort is generally quieter and NO QUEUES!!!! You'll have agreat time.
