Hi Dave,
Last year wasn't so bad but we had very little natural snow, this year the snow was great for christmas and new year so consequently more bulgarians/greeks came to the resort and I suspect some were last minute bookings.
It's a holiday period for many nationalities so it's going to be much busier than the rest of the season.
It gets busy most weekends especially if we have fresh snow and the other really busy time is 3rd march which is liberation day, this was the only real ...

My advice is if you have to come in the busy periods is to aim for first lifts at 8.30am, the queue for the gondola moves very quickly, but some queuing is inevitable when tourist numbers are high
The next test will be feb half term week but this is not a local holiday period and last year was not really that busy
Hope this helps
