re: borovets snow alert

hanks muffy but seen it all before. Snow forcast yesterday morning had 48cms between tue to fri by 1pm it was down to 35cms and by yesterday evening it was 16cms. Why the feck they bother i do not know. Who pays for these crappy sites that couldn,t predict a heatwave in the desert.

I have more chance looking in my teacup and i use teabags Sad

Its doesn't matter anyway - the wind is forecast to be high as well, so they'll close the gondola and all we'll be able to do is look at all the powder being blown off the mountain and cry quietly to ourselves.

I was 'Borosported' yesterday - everyone was at the top of the mountain and they closed the button lifts on the grounds that the wind was too strong for the gondola. But there was no-one on the gondola - we were all at the top, using the button lifts which are pretty much immune ...

But there was no-one on the gondola - we were all at the top, using the button lifts which are pretty much immune from wind. So why close the fecking lifts? Its almost as if they are looking for an excuse to stop working. Then of course, they kept the gondola running so everyone could queue for 2 hours and download. What is wrong with these people?

Borovets gets worse each time i visit. The people get ruder, the place gets dirtier and the prices get higher!
I found a 3year old lift pass in my pocket which was exactly half the price of what they are today.
I think they even have the snow forcast rigged too!
It's no coincidence that the Borovets web cam is stuck on Feb 22nd. When I was there last week there was practically no snow on the lower parts so they simply keep an old web cam image up so that people can't see what conditions ...

Everyone was up the top where conditions were pretty good, but queues for the lifts were long.
They keep building more accomodation in Borovets but the ski areas and facilities don't get bigger or better!
Borovets could be a beautifull place, but those in charge there need a 'wake up call'....

For all the doubters and BG knockers have a look at the Borovets webcam on www.justborovets.com/index.html.
The snow always arrives mid march!
Enjoy!

re: borovets snow alert

sitnyakovosteve.........you're missing the point. No one is complaining about the snowfall, we all know that snowfall is out of anyones control.
