Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Concur with Dave - actually the earlier report from a few days ago was spot on - the pistes are still (Monday) packed but now with Russians not Greeks and become quite badly cut up by lunchtime. The number of people on the far blues (10, 5) as well as the top run down from Todorka to Platoto gets crazy and dangerous at times. The two runs down to the furthest lift are closed but curiously the lift itself works. Not bad later when the snow softens up. Tomba itself is icy but the Chalin Valog are both pretty nice and uncrowded. Go early - any later than 830 and you're in a 40 minute queue for the gondola - enjoy the hardpack whilst the Ruskies are sleeping off the vodka frenzy of the night before and head for the ungroomed runs / Chalin Valog from 12 onwards. Expect rocks/trees in even groomed runs and plenty of 'memories' for your skis......

Let's hope the snow does fall then, we are out on Sunday and really looking forward to it but don't want to be limited too mch, nor do we want to be skiing over bare patches... i.e getting stopped almost dead!

So out of the 70km piste how much would you say is skiiable decently? or even half decently? Also, all reports say that all runs open does that mean the slope for the women's downhill is skiiable?

Sorry, another question, is the full ski road ok? We were hoping to do some night skiing before we leave

thanks in advance

It snowed all day today, The snow was a bit slushy though, still when they piste it tonight it should be good.

Everything is open now, but the runs down to the far left lift are not good.Yes you can ski the Ladies down hill pistes at the moment, i do not know when they will shut it.as late as possible i hope.

It was not good skiing today as The plateau was shut becuase of high winds and with wet snow the rest cut up quickly. I am looking forward to tomoerrow though , as long as the winds stop it should be good.
