Damon it's impossible to predict the weather as last season showed - most of Europe has a real shortage of snow.
The last 2 years the snow seems to have come later in Bansko and last winter in particular was quite mild by the 'normal' standards.
Booking early Jan would feel like a gamble to me, but you just never know what the winter will bring. I'll be going late Jan as at least if the snow hasn't been plentiful, it should be cold enough to have had the cannons running for a ...
