Seriously? 18 degrees again? I'm gonna have to consider a Scottish snowboarding holiday next year, it's bloody freezing here in the UK... is someone pointing a doomsday weapon at borovets? Is Bulgaria single handedly causing global warming
haha I'm not doing a snow dance any more, I'm going to have to do a ritual sacrifice to the gods of snow if I want to board at this rate!re:What the hell is going on with the weather?
Watching the webcams is depressing, bare patches appearing everywhere!!I hope it's open Thursday-Sunday... lower temps forecast from tomorrow and -1 at night so can hopefully get the snow machines on!!
Otherwise could be no boarding at all.. at least its still open, just

I was in Serre Chevalier last week and the warmth at resort level (1500) metres was noticeable although at altitude it was a lot cooler.

The good (ish) news is that after this week it looks like colder air from the North will move in with snowfall forecast from next Tuesday. This is obviously a long way off in forecasting ...

This is obviously a long way off in forecasting terms but the trends have been good for the last few runs so hopefully it sticks. I'm out for a weekend in Pamps on the 11th so it bloody better be!

This is nothing unusual for Borovets!I am afraid for the last 10 years or so - OTHER THAN LAST YEAR the snow has been MOSTLY (not always, but mostly) very poor taken over the course of the skiing season.
16 degrees at the Rila is not uncommon, even in January.
