Was up there on Sunday and it was warm about 18-19 degrees people sat out on the bottom of the slope out side the Rila Booze rumour has it that the warm weather is supposed to stay until end of Nov. then Very cold for December. Still too early to worry I think, we will just have to wait and see what the snow gods send us.

Hi Alex,

Flew in and out of BG yesterday - had a 6am flight from Sofia and it was 14degrees at 5am, compared to -4 the Monday before!! Bobby picked me up at 10pm last night and it was 18degrees....!! The beginning of the week was 22 here in Samokov....!!!

Today has been slightly colder but simply because it's been overcast - it's supposed to be similar temps for the next week or so. I did put this in an earlier email and Nick has also said the same (above) but everyone is predicting a ...
Hi Alex,

Today has been slightly colder but simply because it's been overcast - it's supposed to be similar temps for the next week or so. I did put this in an earlier email and Nick has also said the same (above) but everyone is predicting a very very cold winter... As I said before, no idea how they know and it's mainly the Baba's (grandma's) saying it. Bobby's mum has made us buy an extra 2 tonnes of coals this year compared to last, so I am sure that's positive!!

Once the season gets underway, I will keep everyone updated with daily snow reports, what's open and what's not and hopefully they will be much more positive than last year!!

Hopefully there'll be a Bulgariski meet when you're here and we can catch up for a beer!

re: any update on weather?

we missed last year (bought my first house) so our last time in boro was 2009.

im staring in the ski school too (not to my pleasure but cant ski alone) we are venturing on our own for the last couple of days as a group if the beginners pick it up well if not there will be 3 of us, if you do go witht the beginners i would recomment the mousala ski run (if thats ho its spelt) as its very forgiving but the avid skiiers can still enjoy it. the night skiing is awesome and good entertainment ...

we tend to always end up in buzz bar good gfor a boogie or Chilli peppers for some cocktails, Black Tiger For some Kareoke or titanic for a chilled one. there are so many bars to choose from we tend to bar hop following the happy hours.

Are you going with a tour operator? if so i would sugegst the pub crawl!! great way to sample the bars and meet people. Drink Cheers
