Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi everyone,

I went to the snowdome in MK yesterday and i was just wondering if i had a bad experiance??

We got there and it looked great through the windows and we were really excited, but when we were in there the snow was really bad! Big patches of ice with odd bits of nice snow on the edges and big lumps of ice all over the place!! The trip up the drag lift was not much better with big dips, wholes and even sheets of wood showing at the top?

Is this normal or was i just unlucky?

We still had a good time and it was nice to be on snow again, but i just felt it should have been better considering the place had such a good rep!

Hi

I go to the dome 2 or 3 times a month and more often than not its in OK condition. Part of the problem, is that because its in the middle of the out of season period, the slope maintenance becomes poor, because its less busy (less revenue to pay for the maintenance staff and to have the cannons running)and a lot of there business comes from toboggoning, which isn't as sensitive to the slope condition

If you go up there, just after a competition, its amazing,(as amazing as an indoor slope can be) because they have a big sort out for the comp and get the snow cannons going full pelt and clear all the hard rubbish of.

All i can say is that its not always like that, but thats no excuse, because a lot of the improvements could be made easily, quickly and cheaply!
