No it's not that cold considering the time of year. I was on the slopes earlier having a go at snowboarding for the first time. I have now stopped laughing - it was quite funny anyhow the sun was shinning and the snow was great, so don't worry about the snow as it's there in the mountains where you need it most.
I live here now. Yes it really is that cheap for you. Unfortunately I'm now on bulgarian wages so not as cheap for me and being english I don't get the local's price for ski and passes. So don't go as often as I need to. Nevermind I'm still happy here.
