Snow, Sun and Snow Time To Lose

Bunderitsa: 21st December '09

Bansko snow report comes from Nick Chongorov. Nick is a member of the Bulgarian Ski Team, today he took his camera. ‘Nuff said.

“…Hello again from Nick. Today was a great sunny day in Bansko. We had Super G training early in morning from 7:30 until 10 o’clock. The temperatures were around -12º C but later on during the day when the sun started shining it got warmer. The conditions were wonderful, because the clear weather during the night took out all the moisture from the snow and the ski trails were groomed perfectly in the evening. The forecast for the next couple of days is for warm weather, but this shouldn’t be a problem since there was a lot of snowfall during the last week.

That’s it from me for now. Take care!”

Thanks again Nick. With Borovets and Pamporovo open, it will be interesting to see how this season works out. I just got a feeling that Bansko may well be busier than I thought just a few weeks ago. I mean, anyone who dreams of that perfect day on the snow and then remembers what they know deep down… that a winter holiday is a priority.  I was wondering whether a recession hit Europe will have the cash this year, But who, after seeing thsee pictures  will be digging behind their sofas, raiding savings accounts and generally saying “what the hell” let’s go to Bansko? There’s snow time to lose to head for the snow this winter.

Winter solstice today…
