Snow cover report

Hi

On the snow cover report on here it says that skiing is still possible on a couple of slopes in Pamps but surely that cant be true due to the severe lack of snow? I've pretty much resigned myself that my first ski holiday is going to be a non ski event, must say feeling really really gutted about it. And yes I know about all the drinking fun but honestly I just wanted to learn to ski Sad We're not exactly the richest couple in the world so we saved hard for this holiday and Im just ...

Sorry for the long rambling self pitying post but just had to get it out.

We're in the same boat matey, go out on 3 February and gutted doesn't begin to explain how I'm feeling currently.

Everyone says it'll get better, and optimism is lovely, but the facts speak for themselves.

Flying out from Dublin on Saturday (13th) so no hope that the conditions will get better for us Crying I never knew a lack of snow could upset me so much, honestly I could just lie down and cry.

James you're lucky cause there's plenty of time for things to improve before you go and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the HP shifts and you get some snow.

re: Snow cover report

It sucks doesnt it Sad And this may be our only holiday for a while cause we're planning on trying to start a family so cant be spashing out on any more hols. Maybe if this wasnt going to be my last holiday for a while I wouldnt feel so bad but I doubt it cause I've wanted to learn to ski for years. God I'm depressing aren't I!

Have a little faith my firend, this from BBC website:

'It was a cold dry weekend in Bulgaria so all the snow of last week has now packed down.

Conditions at Bansko (20/30cm) and Borovets (25/35cm) are similar with hard, icy conditions at both resorts. Pamporovo (10/23cm) has the best skiing on the upper slopes due to the shallow snow depth lower down'.

So although the web cam image shows a bit of snow, thats at the bottom of the resort, not the top. You'll still be ...

re: Snow cover report

Thanks Matt Smile

And Elaine I hope to make the meet but we're going with another couple so I'd better check with them before I comitt to anything. But if there's 25 of you I'm sure I'll spot you in the airport! Or at least somewhere round the resort. Where are you all staying??
