halfpipe in borovets?

just reading this link

http://www.bulgariaski.com/borovets/borovets-info-2003-2004.shtml

and it says about new snow machines and slope groomers AND a half pipe in borovets? is this correct?

i was reading in some topics that boarding conditions are not that great but this sounds like they are making efforts to make it better??

any up to date comments on the slope conditions and general boarding info etc..

cheers

I think they meant Pamporovo

re: halfpipe in borovets?

Got back last week. No baording half pipe, they are hoping for this next week.
You might be interested to know that may of the drag lifts are practically impossible for boarders to use and the best run, which is blue the chair lift is bust for the whole season. The red run from the top is good and the reds down from the Quad arn't too bad, but on the whole it's dissapointing soz. !

re: halfpipe in borovets?

which chair lift is closed? im confused?? which number lift on the map is it??? surely not the main one up the side of the slope in the web cam pic??? i can see ppl on that one!

the half pipe is ready next week you say?? perfect timing!

re: halfpipe in borovets?

no it's not the one on the webcam, it was a one man chairlift which should take you to Sinyatskovo, but not anymore

re: halfpipe in borovets?

On the map there are black lines with numbers in white circles (i presume they are lifts) numbered 1-10.

Which lifts are working and which are not from that list?

thanks

I guess some boarding is better than no boarding

re: halfpipe in borovets?

the one in the pic is number 3 yes?
and its number 2 that isnt working??

as long as number 10 is working that should give me enough to play with.

re: halfpipe in borovets?

sorry i meant number 1.... as long as number 1 is working...

im getting all these numbers from the map if your confussed

re: halfpipe in borovets?

Yep, nr 3 is the webcam and nr 2 is closed

re: halfpipe in borovets?

Yes...on the map 2 isn't working which is a real pity as it is a good run from the top all the way down. Does anyone know if the slope between the top of the working chair lift and the top of the broken chairlift is walkable with a board on your back coz it'll be virgin snow!!
