Will there? there better be!

Hi all, I'm going to Bansko on 25th march, Will there be snow???!! I read somewhere that theres snow deep into april but does anyone know for sure that the end of march is still white?
Also, do you have to pay for the Gondola, can you walk to the lifts?
I Know nothin!
Cheers Smile
