Snow sweepstake

Good work everyone what a great response Very Happy

For those that missed the original post( about 2 pages previous called 'the snow will come', I am running a sweepstake on when the first big dump of snow will hit your favourite resort

Rules of the sweep stake

1. One guess for your favourite resort per person
2. Web cam pictures will give us the date it first properly snows. If the cams crash then I think we have to go with Pete decision ( ok pete?). I think we can trust his honesty

3. First snow is defined as a good old fashion dump of snow that kicks the season off. For clarification see web cam pictures for last season at Borovets - 7th Dec 2005=no snow .......... 8th Dec 2005 first dump

I will keep a track of predictions and post the results when the snow comes

Good luck

re: Snow sweepstake

Not sure what constitutes a 'big dump' mate. Maybe you should perhaps consider snow depth. Say, first date for snow levels to reach 40cm. Be easier to adudicate that.

re: Snow sweepstake

pete to decision is finale not if he decides on the 15th dec for pamps as that would be unfair Wink

I agree with pete think it should be some kind of depth that would be skiable

Pete,
I see where you are coming from, but I guess it is just my optimism and wishfull thinking that one day we will all log onto this site and the web cam for our favourite resort has changed from green to a white out.
Then there will be no more " is it going to snow?" posts.
I hope everytime i check, that the bansko cam shows pure white snow with a few lucky people getting the first runs of the season in.

Cheers
