Which ski/snow conditions website is most accurate?
It's that time of year again when I log into my bulgariaski messageboard account! Lol
Myself and a mate are back out in Bansko on 22nd Feb for a week in the Guinness hotel
I was just wondering which websites most people use for snow reports?
The last few years I've used snow-forecast.com, but looking at some peoples comments, it doesn't sound that reliable!
I've just been having a mooch on their site and it reckons that borovets has 80cm on the upper slopes and 70cm on the lower, ...

I have just arrived in Pamporovo. Tuesday. Jan 7thWent on the mountain Wed. 8thJan. They hav'nt had reqal snow for a month!...
The company have worked really hard to make as much snow as possible when the temnps have been right. In the evening the temp is still too warm.
They hope for snow in the middle of next week here.
I have been told that in the Christmas and New year 2 weeks in Bansko they have have had offiicially recorded 1000 accidents! Are all mainly maily open ...

If you are in Skio School the instructors will makw sure you are safe. however I personally wont be skiing after 1 pm cos it really is not worth it.
Hope this helps. But the snow here is expected in the middle of next week!

We use accuweather which for Samokov works quite well but we find the only sure way is to have a look out of the window. http://www.accuweather.com

Wherever I am going each year I have always used Snow-forecast.com, but as Gerry says the best way is to look out the window, ok if your in resort but if its your annual holiday can be a worry if theres no snow. On the plus side it now appears that the unseasonably warm weather may be coming to an end, many of the resorts in the alps had started to suffer but temps due to drop and snow on the way there, hopefully the same for BG. BG weather is influenced by many things and I think it is far ...

BG weather is influenced by many things and I think it is far harder to predict than many other areas. I hope you get some snow soon.

I've been watching Weathercast every few hours for the last week. There has been no hint of snow for this week over Sofia until today when suddenly the radar is showing some coming over for Wednesday. Just shows how quickly it can change.

This site is good as you can see the jet stream moving north of the uk, this means the colder weather will push towards the Balkans, I've been watching for the last week and it's just started moving north a couple of days ago, it's all good it's going to get colder keep dancing peeps.
