hi, sorry to go over old ground but i fly to bansko on saturday and just wondered what the weather is like at the moment and what percentage of the runs will be open if there is no snow in the next week? guestimations are welcome!
Weather is overcast and very warm. There was some light snow right at the top, but everywhere else anything that came down was rain. Top runs are good for the first hour in the morning, but after that waterskis would probably be more use. Lots of mud/rocks coming through lower down - several runs are now closed - the ski road to the middle gondola station requires about 300m walking on dirt. The ski road down to the bottom is presently open, but is getting extremely muddy in ...
Hi bally,
Weather is overcast and very warm. There was some light snow right at the top, but everywhere else anything that came down was rain. Top runs are good for the first hour in the morning, but after that waterskis would probably be more use. Lots of mud/rocks coming through lower down - several runs are now closed - the ski road to the middle gondola station requires about 300m walking on dirt. The ski road down to the bottom is presently open, but is getting extremely muddy in a lot of places. 2 feet of snow probably needed low down to improve things and that is just not going to happen (high temps and no snow forecast for the next couple of weeks.
I agree with all of the above. We have been here for weeks now and the conditions are getting worse and much worse (and do not believe otherwise). We should be staying for 3 more weeks. However, we are going home on Saturday...not good. Not good at all.
