re: bansko snow cannons

you would like to think the operators in bansko will try an maintain a decent base lower 50 upper 75 would be nice . the only way to ensure that is the turn the cannons on while the temp is -1 and lower

re: bansko snow cannons

yeah I'd ahve thought that they'd still use them if the temps are low enough to kep the frsh stuff topped up. snowforecast.com says that there is 0cm on new snow at top and 2cm at bottom..... hmm, don't think so!

i think they rely on skiclub gb who they share there data with. but the ski club have not reps in bansko so their data is always wrong and out of date. the only way you really know is from someone out there. looks like its snowing a bit harder now on the web cam
