Forecasting beyond 5/7 days is in the realms of 'guesswork' (though not totally)---at the moment the models are a pig, with patterns struggling to dominate. At the moment it is becoming more unsettled (as you can see on the webcams) and there will be some snow around--I would not bet your houses on huge falls. It looks staying unsettled next week-BUT at the moment it looks like being a lot warmer mid week so a thaw could set in at lower levels.
Now--it then gets interesting-for a while now ...

Now--it then gets interesting-for a while now it keeps hinting at then turning much colder as we approach Xmas week with good chance of significant snow--BUT this is too far away to be confident at the moment. By early next week we will have a better idea

re: to all the doubters

Bansko has quite a lot of snow cannons and with the colder temperatures forecastes for a while they should do the job just fine for everyone going over xmas and new year. That is of course if the snow doesn't arrive.
