re:Time to wake up Borosport
I have to agree with Franc on this one. was out there last week of jan and we had lots of snow on the marky runs and borosport did bugger all to keep it.no piste bashing to keep it on the top.there was enough excess snow on marky 1 to cover the whole area.its a crying shame that this resort is being run by the most incompetent ,self serving,regime who do not care a jot about the tourists or the local people who rely on our continued return visits for their living.So Borosport take heed,the ...

The only thing I would raise a comment on is your last sentence. Yes - Boro is an OK (more than OK in many ways IMHO) resort, is a whole lot cheaper and does fill a niche. The question is how long it will remain so. The perception is that Borosport's owners prioritised lining their pockets over a long term view of developing the resort. All the time Boro represents value for money then us Brits will keep coming back regardless. I suspect that even ...
You are right KGB in what you say.
The only thing I would raise a comment on is your last sentence. Yes - Boro is an OK (more than OK in many ways IMHO) resort, is a whole lot cheaper and does fill a niche. The question is how long it will remain so. The perception is that Borosport's owners prioritised lining their pockets over a long term view of developing the resort. All the time Boro represents value for money then us Brits will keep coming back regardless. I suspect that even the snow issues this year will have little long term effect if next year sees a return to better levels.
If prices increase, with obvious signs of investment, and the resort offers less VFM then expect to see less Brit footfall. Worse, If prices increase and there is no investment in snow making, lift equipment, run development then I think people will look to the Alps in their droves.
