Take a look at this link:

It is the Borovets page on metcheck. There is 17cm due Wednesday and high winds all week and up to 31mph by Tuesday night. This will mean that the Gondola iwill be closed = long queues else where. Not good news for half term week.

I imagine it must be very cold as well if the wind is so high as the wind chill hasn't been taken into account on the temperatures. They will also shut the top runs if it is very cold for safety reasons - hypothermia etc! Exactly the same conditions as this time last year - spooky!

So take my advice and wrap up warm!!
