Snow week of december 30th

hi, i'm new to the whole skiing thing and i was wondering how confident you all are that the snow conditions will be good on the week of the 30th of December. I'm goin to pamporovo and was just checking there and it says that the average snow cover is 20cm and it seems everywhere else has at least 70cm cover. Is this the usual scenario and is 20cm good enuf for beginners? any opinions are appreciated. cheers

re: Snow week of december 30th

I would never use my own ski on 20 cm snow, but if there aint more, then i rent a pair in Pamorovo. I think it must be more then 20 cm on top, but down it look like 20 cm. Anyway it will be good enough for us all. See you there, cause im going 27. :-)

re: Snow week of december 30th

so either way we'll be able to ski ye? do u expect there to be more snow than that, can there be much of an increase in depth in 2-3 weeks?????

re: Snow week of december 30th

it can increasre and decrease by a lot in a week let a lone 3 weeks, you should be fine if you have a look at the webcam 2 is where the ski school is so that will give you some idea of the depth of the snow.

re: Snow week of december 30th

dead on, thanks, i see there is about 17 cm on the way from thursday to saturday morning so fingers crossed it will be the start of plenty of snow!

re: Snow week of december 30th

2 days of rain and 5-10 degrees and it will be all gone, but i think it will be cold weather some days now. Lets hope it will snow some more too.

re: Snow week of december 30th

we were beginners in jan 07... the average was 6cm... we managed ok, more would have been better but we learned to ski and had a great time so i reckon you guys will be fine

re: Snow week of december 30th

I also went to Pamporovo last year. You can ski on 6 cm, but watch out for rocks and make sure you dont fall. That can hurt on little snow.
Its also a total different feeling when you ski on a lot of snow, cause you you just ski instead of looking out for dangerous things in the slope.
But don worry.....it will be plenty of snow. If not we can afterski all day. :-)
