end of march advice

Hi Gang,

I have been to borovets in January a couple of times. The last one was in 2009 and I am looking at organising a trip for my friends stag do. There will be about 8 of us and because some of them are in the military we sadly only have set dates we can go.

The earliest we can go is 24th March and I would really like to book it but would be interested to read what you all think about the conditions in March?

I have read a few posts on here which say that it has been quite good ...

I have read a few posts on here which say that it has been quite good and others saying there is nothing but grass. Historically, is there at least some runs open or is it just no go?

Any information would really be appreciated. A lot of pressure on the best man here!!!

Cheers,

Dave.

re: end of march advice

with the amount of snow they have already had I would like to think that any of the resorts will still be good in March. Couldn't ask for a better base.

Dave,
If its any help, we had best skiing hol ever in Boro beginning of April about 3 years ago.

But most of the bars were closed or very quiet. We're going out on a package hol 2nd week March and after that think it will be very quiet!

If you could all get to Boro before then would be ok, but just a bit worried you might be partying on your own. BUT havin said that.....the amount of snow the resort has had this weekend will be a fab base so the season could last longer!

I think ...

I think you also need to ask when then the gondola and lifts close for end of season?

re: end of march advice

Thanks so much for the replies.

I haven't really looked at Bansko as I thought you had to travel to the snow whilst I have been to borovets and everything is just close by.

Hilly, thanks for that. It is worrying that the bars would be closed, I was hoping there would still be a bit of a atmosphere. We are having a nightmare as some of the party have set dates and we are working round them.

Would u look for somewhere else then if we can only go late march?
