quite ok

Mon 16 February 2004 mikelangelo
I've tried couple of times the slopes, and in general they are ok. The promised 3 meters of snow is probably available after Jan till March. In general it makes a good value for money as you could stay in Sofia for just a few bucks with descent accomodation and lots of activities for the evenings and take public transport to rach the slopes. Pros: +Excellent conditions if there is enough snow +Great all round activities in the near by city of Sofia +More than descent prices Cons: -Tricky weather conditions. You'd better check the forecast and snow before going there -Too many people during the weekends. -No whatsoever snow parks. -You'd better bring your own gear as the rental one sucks.

Closed for 2011/12 season. Facilities up top are pretty basic so go prepared as they often sell out of essentials like sun cream, and the food isn't brilliant! Most of the lifts are pretty old, with a few leg choppers, as would be expected from an Eastern European resort. Good fun for a day or two though.
