We have been out for the last 3 years in March and it has been great -in fact last year was the best yet. Up to March the snow had not been great. If you are at the top of Pirin st then there is a little slip you can ski down to the Gondola on - other than that it is all uphill!!!
Assuming you are in Bansko of course

Been the first week in March for the last 7 years, always been the best time to go.. Not very busy and always been able to ski. This year looks like it will be special.

We went from first full weekend in March last year and had a big dump at the beginning of the week. Excellent conditions.

We are going again from the 4th and I think then even if we get no more snow in Feb (unlikely) conditions will remain superb given the amount of snow that has and is due to fall in Jan.
