A night of Bansko snow. So ski conditions are a little better today. Take a good look at Elga. She delivers our video snow report with a distinct, and upbeat, tone in her voice. Once again, Elga is from my ski packages partner, BanskoSkiMania. We have 60cm of snow on upper slopes and 40cm on lower slopes. Eight out of fourteen lifts are open for Thursday 6th Jan.

Weather Forecast

More snow on Sunday. The big dump of snow happens on the 12th. I am concerned by some warmer temperatures at the weekend. But this will change for next week. So I see the season getting back on track with more snow after the 14th with yet another weather front on its way.

Oh — and the minor earthquake — at 2.9 on the richter scale — was hardly felt. No damage reported.

We Are Two Years Old

Tips Of The Day:

  • Buy ski insurance before you travel.
  • Excercise and get fitter before skiing. It makes a big difference to your enjoyment.
