Strong Winds

Nice to see some snow forecasted for the next few days... but looking a little bit further is what i'm worried about, 35-45mph winds forecasted for pamporovo peak. How does pamporovo cope with strong winds, as getting a little worried, as the resort only has one layer of chairlifts top to bottom, whereas borovets has quite a sheltered village area, and the gondola higher up may close in strong winds.

Any information so i know roughly what to expect would be great, cheers.

re:Strong Winds

I might be wrong but it isn't necessarily the strength of wind but more which direction it's coming from. Obviously there is a limit but don't think that 45mph is it

re:Strong Winds

fortunately the forecast has shown the winds becoming not as strong, but it's still coming from the north which guessing as most of pamporvo is facing north is a little bit worrying, but fingers crossed.

thanks Smile
