Looking at current piste conditions if I could get time off next weekend I think I would go for it. Hope this helps, anyway in a worst case scenario there are excellent walks, biking and other outdoor activities available, and some good value indoor ones for the evenings

Thanks Don for your timely answer. We were in bansko mid Jan and the skiing was great! Would love to be able to squeeze one last week for this season, plus check out the Bulgarian Easter celebrations! Looking at accuweather temps forecast, breaks my heart though!Keeping fingers and toes crossed!

Yes I was in resort 16 jan for a week, -14 at the top but really good conditions snow wise, wasnt too keen on the fog on run3 on the tuesday, ran out of piste whilst carving with quite hilarious results, well my group thought so!!Anyway hope you have good snow for easter.
