Worth going?

Hi,

with the snow conditions at the moment and the continual hot conditions do those there or that have just come back think it will be worth travelling out on Saturday 27th? If the snow's that bad I'm thinking about not bothering and paying out to go somewhere else.

Thanks
Ryan

I suppose it depends on your level of skiing/boarding. If you look at the webcams, there appears to be plenty of snow left on the bottom of the Popangelov which I believe is a black run (correct me if I'm wrong?) so there should be enough to keep the experts happy, conversely, there might be enough fake snow to keep the intermediate reasonably entertained too. We're heading out on saturday too and we're in no way up to the black runs so we're hoping for some intermediate stuff.

We went out as intermediates and the family stuck mainly to the blues which were getting very lumpy and heavy by the end of the week. I found the conditions heavy but I still progressed as a skier and did the black run Martinovi Barraki 4 a couple of times on Thursday and it was ok but icy in places as it had been used for a slalom comp on wed/thurs mornings.

I came back last Friday. We skied every day for a week; each day the conditions deteriated a little more.

I found the conditions heavy but I still progressed as a skier and did the black run Martinovi Barraki 4 a couple of times on Thursday and it was ok but icy in places as it had been used for a slalom comp on wed/thurs mornings. If the conditions have deteriorated at the same rate as they were last week then I would be supprised if more runs are not being closed as it was already getting patchy and only about 50% were open then. Sorry not a very uplifting reply but it's better to be honest. A decent snow fall is needed.
