Ellie,

I was at the Samokov last week, came back saturday.
Last snow was on wednesday 4th. Lower slopes are messy, streets have melting ice. Upper slopes are rock hard snow, with lethal ice on some of the steeper slopes. Borovets does not have snow cannons so unless there is a dump this week, I'd fear the worst.

Looks like snow on the trees. Just in time for me and the gang next week.

re: Snowing in Borovets

It has been snowing for over 8 hours today, there is a fresh 30cm of snow improving the slopes considerably.

borovets most certainly does have snow cannons. I should know I boarded into one and it hurt! I mean honestly who puts a snow cannon on a piste?
Admittedly they are no good unless the temp is less than -5C.....

re: Snowing in Borovets

yes- they do have cannons but they don't use them for the reasons stated..and there are none on the upper slopes where the snow is packed hard and a dump is required.
