The big argument seems to be the snow record of Bulgs compared to other European resorts. I've read reports of upto 3 metres of snow in a resort and often over 1 metre falling within a 24 hour period!
Now, I've only been skiing twice and both times it was Pamps, so granted, I have very limited experience. However, on both occasions I skied every day albeit the end of the bottom run was a tad patchy.
My question is, why do you need 1,2 or even 3 metres of snow, surely it's the same as ...

My question is, why do you need 1,2 or even 3 metres of snow, surely it's the same as skiing on, say 60,70,80 cm? At one point does it not matter how much is there?

re: how much snow do you need?
the only way you will find out for yourself is to ski in other resortsespecially canada speaking from experience there is a big difference skiing on bare patches & mud like i did in borovets and
lots of well groomed snow in canada its more enjoyable but thats just my opinium

the amount of snow required for good skiing really depends alot on the terrain. In the alps alot of the pistes have large gullies and rocks on them. You can see this clearly in the summer. This means that they need 1 meter plus before they are usable/safe. In the BG resorts the pistes are just grass. this means you could have comfortable skiing with just 30cm of snow. of course an important factor in any resort is how well the pistes are maintained. piste management is probably an area where ...

agree skialot = all about the summer prep of the pistes. been to banff twice before and going again thisyear in march - people always said to eonce you've been to canada, europe just does not compare - and i ao agree - get over the flight time and evrything is better prepared and service on and off the slopes second to none.
two weeks flights, accom, transfers is near enough the same as one week in a semi-top eusro resort for us. plus the CAD still gives value against the batterd £ and ...

only downside is the lift passes are pricey, again not much more than say st anton, but you see why from the moment you gt on the ski coach to when you hit the slopes.
cannot recommend it enough and the powder when it fall is something else.

re: how much snow do you need?
If you stay in the slopes, then 60-70 cm is enough, but if you wanna go of piste, then you must have a lot of snow.Its also good if a resort have a lot of snow, cause that mean they can have a longer season. :-)
