I posted this question on the wrong forum earlier sorry - so ...... is Bulgaria a good choice for Xmas this year (2007) - thinking of 22nd Dec for a week, will there be snow? Was there any last year at that time??? Went to Les2Alpes with first timers last Xmas and was ace but that's a Glacier - so do I take them to Bulgaria and is it worth it - if so where of the 3 main resorts is the best skiing  Cheers easy!

1) There will almost certainly be snow (forgetting any freak heatwaves)
2) Borovets isn't a huge resort, but it certainly has enough (IMO) to satisfy for a week. (Borovets - 60Km pistes, Les2Alpes - 200Km)
3) I've only been to Borovets so couldn't comment, however it is the highest resort and the oldest therefore it is more likely to have snow.
In terms of accomodation, I could only recommend the Flora Apartments (we have a 1 bed there) It's large & clean & extremely close to the slopes (50m from main gondola). Two main hotels in Boro are the Rila & Samokov, I've heard both good & bad things about them both.
PM me if you need more info.

lol @ northantsred, the article actually states that there are none plainly visible in Borovets contrary to popular belief
Of course, i'm sure they're available if you ask in the erotic bars, but then what do you expect?

Sorry, DoA, but if it's foggy, it only means it's foggy. It might be useful for you to post your query about Christmas under "resorts" - I'm sure you'll get lots of useful feedback. Very few resorts are snowsure at Christmas and I've never seen any suggestion that Borovets is one of them. You would do better to go back to LDA, but if you want a change, and need to book now, somewhere like Tignes would be a better bet.

Its better than being sunny though! There is snow already at the top of mousalla (highest point in Boro), and it has been snowing lightly in the village a few days ago.
All is looking good!

Sorry, I cant vouch for Borovets at Christmas last year, but Bansko at Christmas had plenty of skiing (no hiking). In fact apart from a period eof about 10 days early on in the season, when the very top was closed (mainly because they concentrated on keeping the lower slopes in good condition). Bansko faired prenty well all season really. We were getting reports from guests, whose friends had been elsewhere in europe, that conditions had been quite bad. Ok we didnt have the amounts of snow we usually do, but I for one had a great season. The only difference for me was I couldnt go off piste, as the conditions were too dangerous for this, as the base was unstable!
Although Borovets is the highest (only by a few metres) of all the resorts in Bulgaria, Bansko is the more snow sure and usually has far better conditions than Borovets. Im not just saying that because I live here, it is a proven fact.
I hope this helps

Been to Borovets three times and going back in Feb 08. Went at Christmas two years ago and had good snow; however the instructor said that we were lucky. As for the resort itself, cheap and chearful. Don't expect good food in the hotels but there are plenty of good, cheap places to eat and drink in the resort. Hotel wise I have stayed at the Samokov or Stalag Luft 1 as I call it. Stayed at the Eidelweiss for one night in March this year and then insisited on a move as the accomodation was soooo bad, long way to walk into the resort and no courtesy bus. Have stayed at the Ela twice and going back there in Feb, clean, good bar area and friendly staff, food - to quote Crocodile Dundee " You can live on it ......"
