first time in Bansko - April 09

Hello guys, i was thinking to go over Bansko for visit in April and to do some ski. I am intermediate so dont pretend nothing special just.... snow.... would it be snowing at in April or at least the slopes would have some real or fake one?? Smile
Unfortunately April is the only time i can get ski holidays...
Cheers

Hi Enzo...
Resort normally closes end of second week in April, last year was good as had fresh snow right at the end of the season, but you know snow, no guarantees Very Happy

Last season the cannons ran when it was possible for them to. I will give Bansko its due, they are not mean when it comes to running the cannons Very Happy
I have not heard when resort is due to close this season.
Fingers crossed for May, could have done that last season with the snow that was here....

It definately could have been extended last season, 10 days maybe which would have taken the end of the season to April 23rd, not bad for a lowly resort....

Mikey, with the way global weather is i would not right off summer skiing anywhere...........
