Bulgaria Ski discussion board

OK, so if i understood correctly, you're saying that the runs other than 5 have reasonable ski conditions (not too icy and base layer thick enough to ski) and the only "problem" with them is that they're very short (hence, can be completed quickly even for a novice skier) therefore not worth mentioning. The ONLY run which is currently open and IS worth mentioning is run No. 5 which you say has very bad snow conditions (though I didn't quite understood what you ment about "split down to monda lift" and "couldnt cope with the hammer". what do you mean "the Hammer"? are you referencing the feel that the icy track has on your feet ?)

are you looking from the map on this site . it is not correct . there are some good runs open but not in good condition . if you do go it wont be a disaster . its just that it is hard work skiing . the conditions are icy in the morning then in the afternoon its slop and melted. the base layer is mainly ice so no grip . a really good skier may cope . there are blues(greens in most countrys) reds and blacks open . my problem was the same run would be snow/ice/rocks all together. you dont know what your skiing on . it felt at times it was survival not skiing

you cant compare one resort with anothers snow, look at the uk a few week is ago scotland was basically at a stand still, while the south hardly had any snow. Problem with bulgaria is they didnt get the early snow to build the base up. France and other places did. I am off to italy next week, snow base is great by internet reports, but they have had no snow now for well over a week, predicted for temps to lower and some snow from thursday. Yesterday the womens world cup alpine skiing had to be cancelled due to it being to hot and slopes being dangerous. it is pretty much the same all over, lets hope it snows soon.
