Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Its a tricky one for ULEN they need the publicity and the FIS Super G gives that vital coverage.

BUT when it is on and for weeks before hand a lot of the mountain is out of action - this can prevent tourists visiting again if it has harmed their holiday plans.

Could they earn more if the whole mountain was open season round v hosting the FIS super G?The other key thing is that this is returning after a years break - there will have been zero changes/improvements. Youd expect lots of publicity so spend the money before or use the bounty after to boost what you do. Sadly seems that isnt the case its like the bounty has simply been banked .

The nature of Super G is going to involve a run from the top of the mountain, likely will close half the piste through red 3, red 6 and black 9.... The preparation of icing slopes will depend on the weather, very low temps will speed the prep, but i would predict at least 2 weeks running up to the comp... There are some Europa cup events also pencilled in, and Bulgarian national events, whether these will tie up red 7 or 8 is debatable, and the preparation is minimal, so should be no more than a couple of days...
Lets be positive, if we have good snow the loss of 'Tomba' is not such a bad thing, the black at Challin Valog is more of a test anyway, red 12 should be available and is far more interesting than red 6
