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 ...

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.
