We have been to Pamps every year, or twice, since 1999 and we have never not skied even for 1 day.
There looks to be more snow than 2years ago when there was just grass everywhere and we managed to ski the red runs all week.
Alright it gets a bit boring but at least we were skiing and there;s nothing wrong with sitting outside Bohemi restaurant, in the sun with a Kamenitza watching your 7year old have the time of his life up and down on the T bar run! HAPPY DAYS.

There are two runs officially open out of 16 according to the pamporovoresort.com site which is the official web site of Pamporovo Plc. That is 12.5%. I think if you calculated it by km open as a percentage of total km of piste it would still be less than 20% open. (The two new runs that are still closed have really helped in the percentage figures)

Nothing has changed for a couple of weeks so was all the same two runs open when we were there.
Phil - the insurance we have is with direct travel insurance. Like I said - claim form going in this week so not actually sucessfully claimed yet but seeing as I was told I didn't have a cat in hells chance of getting the letter, I think things are looking OK. I will only get £15 per day - not sure if its per person (which would be very good as there's 5 of us) or just that but its better than a ...

Wow - argos rocks!
I'll keep you posted how the claim goes but I have to say I wouldn't have got the letter if it hadn't have been for Pete from Interski - he's a star!

Ask your tour rep, they will get a signed letter for you.
