Bulgaria Ski discussion board

ok I will try, but i do not have the map. From the top of the mountain if you are skiing down the blues the right hand plateau one is a total mess full lots of stones, the left hand one is better only one bad area. from the restuarant down the right hand blue is only skiable with hire skis, i just edged down the side The other blue is better, but this morning was very icy. the blue run down to the right hand lift is the piste in the best condition. The two drag lift reds at shilingarnik are good as well. From the top down the Reds, only one is open now the right hand one skiing down, that was icy but not bad until it joins the little blue from the new 6 man lift, after that there are bare patches and stones, No wonder really because it is very busy. I never skied the learning area at banderitza, but people say it is ok. At chalin Valog the learing area is ok and the right hand (going down) black/red is very icy. I never tried the big left hand black as i was having trouble on the other side so ok ! yes i was scared !!! lol

I hope that you can understand my description, oh and the ski road was a little icy but very good.

Hi

Well, i struggled a bit trying to understand the description and i think i pretty much got it (i've attached the slopes map of bansko. you can copy the link and past it to your browser):
from the top down to platto, track No. 11 is the one full of stones. from plato down to shiligarnika, track No. 10 is the one skiable only with hire skis (what did you mean by that ?). I did not understood which is the piste you've mentioned with the best conditions (what number ? what part ?).
I assume the two drag lift reds are tracks no. 7 and 8, and the one going down from the top is no. 4, until it connects with the blue (which blue ? no. 4 blue ?)

and another thing, to your opnion, because of flat parts are all these slopes we've just mentioned, more suitable for skiers than to boarders (especially the ski road) ?

Thanks for your help (we are 3 boarders arriving on the 16th and very worried since there is no snow forecast for the next week. therefore the current status of the slopes is very important for us and much appreciated)

ah , thank you, yes you have understood it but now I have the map, thanks. The map makes it even more complicated !!!! lol The top of number 10 is full of stones, i meant if id hired skis they are not my problem and i would ski down the middle, but i do not want to have to repair my skis every day ! I never knew that number ten turned right, after that (where it meets 5a)is the best conditon piste.on everthing else you are right.

as far as i know, there is snow predicted for next week ,everthing is skiing fast so i do not think you will have a problem on your boards,
