I've been in Borovets for a week now-leaving tomorrow. To confirm what's been said above- today there were no runs open other than the small blue run in front of the Rila hotel (which in my opinion would be shut in any other resort-it is in such a bad state). Some beginners were out on this. Ski school have been teaching on this slope all week.

I've been in Borovets for a week now-leaving tomorrow.

Some beginners were out on this. Ski school have been teaching on this slope all week.

I have been up the gondala and 4 man quad outside Rila (which were shut today-presumably due to wind) but there has been no skiing from them. We walked down from the quad lift and there is literally only a dusting of snow in places and most of it lower down has no snow at all.

Earlier in the week it was possible to ski on 2 of the red runs at Yasterbets but this got icy and patchy and the lift has been shut yesterday and today.

So until Borovets gets a significant snow fall and the temperatures drop (it's been regularly about 8-10degrees this week and it 15 degrees at one point) I can't see there being any improvement.

Despite doing very little skiing, I've had a good time eating and drinking this week but come prepared with a good book and playing cards to keep yourselves entertained!
