can anyone who has been to boro in the last week or two confirm that there are other people in the resort this year, i am looking at the webcam and have never seen fewer people, by the way if anyone knows what the conditions are this year i would be grateful for the info. we went to serbia last year and tried to ski on grass and slush. the snow looks good in boro this year, thanks in advance
We came back from Boro on 12 Jan, had a fab time. The resort is quieter this year but that maybe because of the poor conditions out there last year. I am happy to say that the conditions this year are brilliant! You can easily find soft powder snow, although if it hasn't snowed for a few days, the more gentler runs can get a bit compacted and icy like the mussala pathway.
As for it being deserted on the slopes this may be because there is more mountain to ski this year, and the beginners ...

As for it being deserted on the slopes this may be because there is more mountain to ski this year, and the beginners aren't all confined to the Rila nursery slope. Its nice not being crowded and have a bit more space
No what I meant to say was, last year the conditions were so poor that alot of the runs were closed due to insufficient snow. This year snow is in abundance and so there are more slopes open to spread everyone about on. Remember you have nursery slopes at the top of the gondola and the 4 man chair aswell as lower down. Whichever colour slope you ski, you are gonna have a fantastic time
Went to Boro 6th January. It started off busy with many Russians as it was their Christmas break. They disappeared around the 8th and it was quieter. More British expected middle to late January. Snow conditions were great - all runs easy to ski plus brilliant off-piste. We could ski right down to the Rila doors. They had snow cannons working to top up on the main slopes.
Have a great time
I was in Borovets last week too, was fairly quiet, big queues at the gondola on Wednesday for some reason!? It seemed everyone was heading up the gondola for the Markudijk greens & blues, everywhere else was quiet. Virtually no queuing for the chair lifts though. Upper pistes were in great nick, lower ones were starting to get a bit packed & worn towards the end of the week, but it was quite warm at 1300. Wouldnt worry, you'll have a great time.
