What wind-speed causes the lifts to close?

Hi all - Excited to be coming to Boro soon (12 days)... I was wondering if anyone knows what's the wind-speed threshold at which they close the gondola and other lifts which are exposed?

Thanks much!

As far as I know it is 20 meters per second.

It is all down to the direction and if constant the gondola is out of date model and in urgent need to be replaced.
Boro shuts often because the top part is very open and designed badly for windproof.
If you are lucky on these days with snow of plenty,then you can ski the other 2 areas.
If not then nead to Pamporovo for wind resistance
