Im sorry, but im getting a bit fed up with the will it or wont it, Why worry, you cant do anything about it! (thats all except God of course). If you are going to Borovets.....you will Ski (or fall over if youre a boarder), so relax, look forward to the holiday and leave the predicting lark to Russel Grant, hes got as much idea as the forecasters..
the lack of snow is not just the only problem! the quality of the resorts here dispite the current difficult conditions is terrible. ove been to many contries that have sufferred with the lack of snow and have provided better conditions than here. the slopes are not being bashed properly here in bansko and if you love to ski or board over rocks (size vary between golf ball size to football size no joke. and tree stumps then this is your place oh and not to forget the moggules that are ...

important note bansko is not a beginner friendly place and most of the main blues have sections that are clearly reds. a word of advice if you are bringing your own gear only bring old crapy stuff as its going to get shredded and for all the wrong reasons.
bulgaria is a beautiful country and the people are great but from seeing bansko they have a long way to come with their ski resorts managing them, making them safe. you tend to get the feeling that making money is the focus and may be they gave opened some of the runs far to early hence having so many bolders on top of the snow i sure would want to get hurt here it takes an age to get help. i assisted someone and in that time 5 or 6 intructors went by and would not stop to help.
came back last sat from boro 2nd time there in rila ,totally diff attitude from 1st time no one was as helpfull we all felt ripped off .plenty of snow fell on the tues -wed yet they still did not open all the lifts big queses or 20 leva per head 4 a lift on skiddo back to canada next year
