Dejan from Serbia - all runs in Borovets are open at the moment. We just left today, conditions have been superb this week

Dejan - Serbia, 11.02.2015 21:03

Why are Y3, Y1 and Markudjik ski runs Closed? (Feb.11 2015)

Sarah - United Kingdom, 25.02.2014 19:49

Arriving in borovets on sat 1st march, can anybody tell me what the ski conditions are like and is there any new snow? thankyou

Paddy Curran - Bulgaria, 20.02.2014 11:17

There are the two lower runs open in front of Rila and two lower runs on gondola side. The popangelov run is in very good condition. Not many people in resort so about usual numbers on runs. There is a free bus to the yastrebets chair lift as you cannot get to the runs via the gondola. On the bright side it has been sunny so nice conditions to ski with.

Christian Pitocco - Bulgaria, 12.02.2014 15:09

THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE!!'m
There are 2 runs open on the entire resort!!!
I cant believe they have put that most of it is open!!
The runs are open if you fancy a hike but That's about it!!
It's the worst season they have had in years.... We have hired a car to go to bansko tomorrow but now we're worried as they are also saying that most of it is open!!!!!
Thank god for great mates banter and beer!!!!!

Jen - United Kingdom, 07.02.2014 12:37

Is this an accurate report of the amount of runs open? Many other sites says than more runs are closed than this. I've also seen that sites have fake reports to encourage tourists to come. Is anyone there now that can give me more of an idea of what's happening? We're due to arrive on Sunday and we're not going to cancel but would like to know what we're in for! Thank you!

Russell price - Bulgaria, 26.01.2014 16:00

Please explain logic behind keeping the gondola from working I believe it to be that your saving the snow that is obviously up there for the forthcoming downhill skiing this I find appaling and yet not surprising for borosport any reason to save having to do something I av been here 14 years now and I\'m frankly disgusted at the way borosport treats it\'s paying clientele lift passes that can\'t be fully used queues that are unacceptable and as for the do called contactless yet another thing borosport av failed to try before bringing it into force it\'s a nightmare but as usual you don\'t care you av your money paying customers can just lump it this will not only be my last visit to borovets but Bulgaria all together

Filip - Macedonia, 27.12.2013 20:36

What is with the snow....is it real or......whats happening in Borovets....

Filip - Macedonia, 27.12.2013 20:33

Do you have snow.....beacuse i am going ti visit Borovets in 12.01.2014 ii think....

Alex - UK - Bulgaria, 15.03.2013 07:53

Last day of our holiday, been here 8 days and only managed to ski for about half of that. Poor snow cover, with lots of bare patches and ice. Also been very windy the past few days so lifts all been closed. Not ideal at all, although it is forecast to dump 20cm tonight.

phil mckay - European Union, 03.01.2013 03:06

well looking at the runs that are open and also the fact that there is still snow on the roofs at basecamp and also snow still on the trees its not melting that fast ?? there will be ice because as usual for this time of year its freeze and thaw in bulgaria! but looks like more snow on the way but not big dumps of the stuff! little and often by the looks of it! as long as the temps stay low at night and not much more that 2 in the day the canons canm make up the difference :) im arriving saturday :) as long as yastrebetz is good ill be happy :) and it looks pretty good to me :) cant wait :)

Karen - United Kingdom, 02.01.2013 23:44

Are this amount of runs really open? On Bulgaria ski it is only showing 11 open. Which is correct? Are there likely to be any runs open on Monday or will it be even worse? Thanks

mark - United Kingdom, 31.12.2012 17:05

We're here at the moment and conditions are not good. It hasn't snowed since before christmas eve and all the main blue runs bar one and the greens apart from nursery are closed. Reds have been made black due to ice. Today was 9 degrees. Its all melting and no snow is due!

Ian Booth - United Kingdom, 22.12.2012 18:46

Agree with Andy Mck's comments, this is our 6th time to Borovets (had a 1 yr break to Bankso) and this is my fav resort. Great people, great pub/restaurants, excellent value and I just love it. We bought 3 sets of boots last year and stay at the Samakov hotel. My son who's a great skier love sit here too. We went outside half term and its great, even better value. We sooo looking forward to it again this year.

Andy McK - United Kingdom, 20.12.2012 02:18

Coming back again in Feb 2013. After having had great snow last year, hoping it will be as good again and so far it's looking like a good start to the season. Saw some people skiing on the Yastrabets runs a couple of days ago so fingers crossed for Feb. Our 5th time and hopefully not our last. May not be the classiest resort in the world but certainly picturesque when it's covered in snow and when you're on top of the mountain or skiing through the trees down to the resort. Just look at the food/drink/lift pass/activity prices and that will make you realise why so many people come back here year after year. One of our group skied in Colorado a couple of years ago but says he would prefer to come to Borovets for the whole package. Hopefully resort will be a bit quieter now we're not tied to UK half term but never found any probelms getting somewhere to eat and queues were OK considering it was so busy. Some people moan about Borovets but do a bit of research wrt where to eat/stay/buy lift passes etc., consider getting a taxi into Samokov to eat cheaply and you'll have a great time. We certainly did and won't hesitate to book again.

Andy McK - United Kingdom, 20.12.2012 02:18

Rebecca - United Kingdom, 18.12.2012 13:15

Is the resort open? A number of different websites are saying a lot of different things...mostly that there isn't snow and it's not open

Alex - Bulgaria, 08.12.2012 08:39

You give a lot of faulty information. The lifts are not oppened as I can see from the webcams.

Kev - United Kingdom, 05.12.2012 11:32

Let it snow let it snow

Steve - United Kingdom, 26.03.2012 21:20

I'm thinking of coming out on 1st April - 3 daughters to have their first experience of skiing. Is it all just ice or will they be able to learn?

Andy - United Kingdom, 23.02.2012 01:32

Just got back and had a great week, snow was perfect for us, snowed a couple of times while we were out there so we were skiiing on powder for much of the week and majority of the lifts were open. God knows how the locals cope, the UK would grind to a standstill with 10% of this snow??? but they just clear it up and get on with their lives. Seems to be warming up now so may get a bit icy but can't have everything. As others say treat yourselves to a trip to Samakov (15 lev each way in a taxi). The Chicken House restaurant is fantastic even if it is geared towards us tourists but it is still over half the price of Borovets centre but is 10 times as luxurious, service is great, food is warm and tasty. If you're still looking somewhere to stay consider the Vila Park complex, great facilities (gym, sauna, pool etc all free for residents) and prices for food/drink are low (cheapest beer we found in Borovets) you may struggle to get some pans/toasters/kettles etc. but that didn't stop us having a great time. Looking forward to next year just hope the snow is as good next time. Slopes may not be as challenging as Europe for experienced skiers but for us part timers it was more than enough.

paul t - United Kingdom, 20.02.2012 23:50

going 26th feb, conditions look great.Have been there past 2 years, price is main reason. Hoping the top runs are all open as they were fab las year.

paul - United Kingdom, 28.01.2012 22:20

going back this year on the 25th feb will be are 6th year. snow looks great this year we normally go the 2nd week in jan but conditions havent been great the past 2 years an this an this year its back to excellent. cant wait to get there an enjoy the night life

Andy B - European Union, 25.01.2012 11:41

Other sites say all bar one lift are open. Lots of snow falling too. I go Saturday cannot wait

Martin - United Kingdom, 24.01.2012 11:21

Hi Guys and Girls we are going on Sat 28th for 9 days skiing. We have a couple of friends who live out in Samakov and they have told us that the skiing is brilliant. I you go to www.borovet-bg.com you can see live web cams of the resort. Lots of snow with a base depth of 2 metres and more snow on the way for 24th, 25th and 26th. I have been for the last 3 years and for the money it is a no brainer! If you want to go to Samakov for the night there are some fantastic resturants but for the life of me I cannot remember the names, sorry and much cheaper than in Borovets. Make sure you agree a price with the taxi before you go. Have a good un Martin (AKA Franz Clammer)

Andy - United Kingdom, 20.01.2012 00:50

Hey guys is anyone looking at this forum anymore. We're coming over in the Feb half term 2012 and was hoping to see some reports? Anyone know why Markujik runs aren't open?? Snow looks good at the top of the mountain?

pete - United Kingdom, 24.01.2011 21:06

went last week in jan last year n go 5th feb. ski conditions look better this year than last but were were still adequate. very good value for money.

Daniel - Israel - Israel, 16.01.2011 13:49

I will be in Borovets next month hope for good snow, I visit in the last 4 years in Borovets and it was prefect the snow, hotels, and costs

graham - United Kingdom, 09.01.2011 23:12

going 1st week in feb been for the last 3 years to boverets. only had 1 day where we havent skied and that was due to wind. food and drink is cheap . the resort is far from fancy but for £500 all in we have had a great time.

Pierre - Greece, 07.01.2011 18:53

Went at xmas with family. Not many runs open but enough for two beginners and had three days of brilliant sunshine. Will be going back when all runs are open.

Neil - United Kingdom, 04.01.2011 22:15

I'm confused I arrive on saturday and this site says the Markudjik ski centre is closed but the lifts that serve it are open is this just an error on the website or is the Markudjik ski centre still closed?

SOT - Greece, 20.12.2010 19:41

hello fellows does anyone have any idea for ski contitions in borovets for the week 12/20 -27?

paul hopwood - United Kingdom, 11.12.2010 01:22

all runs in borovets currently closed its planned opening day is the 19th december but may be opening a day early according to the bbc weather

Paul Sheffield - United Kingdom, 06.12.2010 16:27

been b4 in dec snow cover not good,only open outside Rila for first 5 days (with use of the canons, pretty busy) then opened gondola to top for last day

James Atkins - United Kingdom, 02.12.2010 17:07

Is this information to be believed? The webcam shows no snow what-so-ever, yet virtually all of the lifts and runs are claiming to be open - even though it is after 17:00 local time. Surely it must be dark by now?
