Snowboard Borovets

I was in Borovets for 1 day last year and about half the mt was closed to snowboarding. Can you ride the whole mt this year or are there still restrictions?

re: Snowboard Borovets

many of the pistes (especially those above the gondola) are accessed via fast button lifts that are difficult to use for snowboarders

Thanks for the info. As I remember the left side of the mt (as you look at it from the hotel rila) had chairs but I wasn't allowed on them with a snowboard. I was told that this whole sections was 'off-limits' to snowboarders...

I'm heading back in a week for a few days and am just curious.

re: Snowboard Borovets

I went last week, boarded all week, buttons and all, no restrictions, muchos powder under the new 4 man Smile

Rip it up man, I am missing it already Sad

p.s. Try blagging a lift on a piste basher (few levs) and get an extra groomed run Smile
