bansko conditions

there is lots of snow and off piste is brilliant. but I am afraid it is too busy. They have shut half of the mountain down for the race , and if it is windy , the top (plateau) gets shut as well. this leaves on chalin valog with a red or black run.I can only see this getting worse with half term

Half the mountain ??? part of red 2 and 4, red 6 and black 9 ??? So that only leaves blue 1, blue 3, blue 5, blue 10, blue 11, parts of red 2 and 4, red 5, red 6, red 7, red 8, red 12, red 16 and red 17...

re: bansko conditions

yesterday, they shut all of 2 4,6 7 and 8 , all for the race, if there is any wind they shut the plateau, that is 3 and 11, that does not leave so much

Top was open today, and the weather is a bit better Very Happy
Can't understand why they are effecting 7 and 8 ? unless they are being used for practice, neither are really suitable for anything other than low end slalom, better to use 9A...
