Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi Guys, going to Bansko over new year, haven't been before but went to borovets late last season and loved it! just wondered if I could pick your pulsating brains on the following: I wondered what the chances were of decent snow, what are depths typically like over new year time ish? should I consider taking a picnic blanket rather than a snowboard? Also we haven't booked anything for new years eve, we're staying in apartments and wondered if it would be advisable to do so, if so where would you suggest?
