Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, this my first post. I have been reading these forums for the alst few days checking out info on Andorra where i usually ski, but this year I am off to pamorovo in bulgaria. I'm not filled with confidence about this trip due to the lack of snow. Has anyone been to bulgaria this year? what are conditions like? i fly out on saturday (jan 20th) for a week and just want to be able to ski... dont need perfect conditions!! anyone have any news about the area?
thanks!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

jrt123, welcome to .
A glance at www.bulgariaski.com is worth a look at for Bulgaria info - just be careful of some of the propoganda flying around.

Weather girls on Ski TV say Pamporovo is the lowest snow depths they have ever reported - 3cm and 9cm at the top.

I like what the SCGB says about Pamporovo:
Quote: |
Pamporovo (3/9cm) is not fairing as well though and lower down the slopes are patchy due to a lack of snow following the warm weather spell. |
I should think the slopes are patchy at depths of 3 cms. But they're not patchy at depths of 9cms???
Someone at work is due to go out in 2 weeks' time - I think she needs the snow fairies more than me now

vgsbs, i hope you're right about the snow forecasts. I keep hearing mixed views about these forecasts, some say no snow for next few weeks, some say snow in next few days. not sure how the weather prediction game works! hope you're right!
stevec, i've been watching that webcam with fear. think i might have to rent a mountain bike instead!

jrt123 > don't be too concerned about that particular picture (though it is a bit off putting isn't it?!) it's from the very bottom of mountain, outside a shop, not one of the skiing areas, under normal conditions though it would be full of snow and beginners groups getting to grips with their first snowplough. Up the top's meant to be at least skiable, but for how long is anyone's guess!
