98 All the cars outside the Murgavets completly buried, you could only just make out the shapes!.

re: WHAT'S THE DEEPEST YOU KNOW

I was there in 2005 - it was the last week in January and it was incredible! The snow was good enough beforehand - but overnight it just happened!!!! HUGE dumps of snow - people (including locals) were taking photos everywhere as no-one had ever seen anything like it in living memory! Cars were completely buried - ans forget about the ski buses! After the snow - it got seriously cold and I remember seeing 6 foot icicles hanging off roofs!

re: WHAT'S THE DEEPEST YOU KNOW

Yes those icicles in 2005 were amazing, it was minus 15 some days on the mountain. I remember the tracks that were dug by the snow ploughs for the bus route to lifts, the snow was over half the Bus height, it was pretty scary driving down to the lifts, the Drivers didn't slow down and the Bus was rocking all over the place. I shut my eyes a few times.

re: WHAT'S THE DEEPEST YOU KNOW

In 2006 I was out in March with a school group. There was about 1.75 metres in one night. Our kids were diving off the Snezhanka into deep deep snow in a controlled environment.
To date it looks like it's going to be a good year.

re: WHAT'S THE DEEPEST YOU KNOW

Superb feed back all round, Im so glad I asked that question, and thanks for those replys, that has got to my favorite bit of reading so far on this site, 1...I'd just love to see snow that deep, 2...I would love the chance to ski on it and 3...i'd love a free mars bar.

re: WHAT'S THE DEEPEST YOU KNOW
