So Glad.....

....that we booked Italy this year instead of Boro.

I will miss the craic/bars/social aspect but I certainly wont miss skiing in the mud!!!

Enjoy - The snow will come

re: So Glad.....

Where about in Italy are you going and when?

I was in the Milky Way over xmas (Sestriere) and although they had snow, it was very hard, compact and icy with quite a few gravel patches. They also haven't had any new snow since 8th December.

Hi Al - I'm off to Italy soon - some of the webcams are really encouraging and the forecasts look likely to top up what's already there so should be okay.
Must admit that it was a toss up with Andorra - looks like they are struggling this year.
I guess it's just luck - as I would have expected to go to any resort across Europe in early Feb and expected lots of snow.
Which resort are you off to?
Cheers

And I'm off to Bansko and Pamporovo.

You can keep all your swish resorts - your flashy lip gloss and your Versace thermals.

Rain or snow, sun or rain, it's Bulgaria for me - again and again

Dead right Pete - that's why I'm off to back to BLG in late Feb! Couldn't do with just one ski break this year - it's a gutting feeling to think you have to wait a full year until you go again.
So, I spread my cash as best I could and got a week in Pamps and a cancellation week in La Thuile - at a combined prices that was near enough the price of a week at a flash resort in Austria!
With luck - we'll see snow in BLG by the time I get down there!

Livigno. Travelling from Belfast.

To be honest I love Boro too. ((RefP's comments) and i'll miss not being there this year but Italy was £100 cheaper than Boro last year!!

Never been before so looking forward to it. Last snowed on 8th Jan and another decent fall predicted for tonight and tomorrow.

Might try to get to Boro early march, dump dependant. Enjoy and tell the girlies in the Titanic I said hello

Alan - sometime you 've got to listen to your head over your heart!
Even PP went to Killington (USA) last year - useful to compare resorts - and I know he came back convinced that it was still Bulagria for him!!!

Enjoy!

Also went to Italy last year at end of January, and they'd had no sow for approx 4 weeks, and didn't snow while we were there.

There is no real guarantee of snow anywhere in Europe at the moment, so Bulgaria is still a good bet as anywhere, and I've heard the apre ski is better in Bulgaria than France, Italy etc, so at least you can enjoy that if it doen't snow.
