Went first week of march last year to Borovets. Snow on lower slopes was awful, half of them closed with muck everywhere. Snow up top was great but you couldn't skiback to resort and had to get gondola back which meant queing to get down mountain. Also gondola was closed 3 out of my 6 skiing days. From own experience, i wouldn't recommend itre: Snow in March
MMMMMBy the sounds of what people are saying and thanks for your input, its not good in Borovets. Think we may look for somewhere else. Doh

Have a look at my photos on http://www.closingtime.co.uk/
We've been going around 5th to 7th of March most years and always skied every day.
The only thing I found is there seems to be less snow in the village now than in the past. All this really means is you can’t always ski back to the hotel / ski depot.
In my mind there’s always been enough varied skiing to be had in the resort. After all I’m going back for my 7th time this year…
Hope this ...

re: Snow in March
Bansko's the place to go that late in the season. Simple as that. 161 snow cannons can't be wrong.re: Snow in March
DamoCorrect me if I'm wrong but I thought the temperature still had to be below zero degrees Celsius for the Snow Cannons to work.
