It looks fine at the top Pete. We are off on Saturday also. I have just checked the 6 day forecast on snow-forecast, they predict that temps will drop Sunday and a light snow, then a little more on Tues/Weds Smile

just got back from bansko on sunday.
we had a full day of snow night till night on the first day and it lasted us all week long.
by the end of the week the weather was really warm so lower levels were messy. youll see when u get there.
get a six day lift pass and go all the way as high as u can then use the blue runs, they are the most consistant 10 and 5 are good, the black run its just too bumpy and icey and so boarding it is hopeless.

DEFINATELY go early in the morning, its not as icey as busy or as warn down by everyone, be at the gondola for 8. then have a break at 11 till 12 then when everyone else goes to lunch at 12 start again. then have a break and a last run at 4. u can get on all the fresh tracks left by the ploughs for some really nice boarding!

it will look messy and it is icey but by going early ull get best results! hope that helps!

food is great almost everywhere so get out of the hotels. we ate great food and had 6 beers for a tenner!
