Anita Valentinova, source: expert.bg, news.bg, 06.12.2008

The winter season in the prominent mountain resort Pamporovo was opened on the 6th of December and brand new unique of its kind ski lift was put into operation. The new lift in Pamporovo is the most contemporary one on the Balkan Peninsula and it is ranked the second in Europe. 6-seat lift, called “Pomagalski” connects Pamporovo with the village of Stoikite. The opening of the new lift equipment also marked the official start of the winter season in Pamporovo ski resort.

The ski lift passes through the distance from Stoikite village to Snejanka Peak for only 8min with maximum speed 6m per second, which makes it the only one of its kind on the Balkan Peninsula and ranks it 2d in Europe. The first one similar to “Pomagalski” is located in France. The length of Bulgarian “Pomagalski” is 2992m and it has a capacity of 2400 people per hour. All seats are equipped with special helmets which protect from severe winds and snowfalls. The lift has at its disposal optical connection between the stations, and in this way there will be observation in every point of the new lift equipment at any time. Furthermore, a generator, which will ensure the proper work of the ski lift in cases of electricity, being cut off, is provided.

Parallel to the lift, two new ski tracks with the total length of 7km are to be put into exploitation. The connection between Stoikite and Pamporovo gives splendid opportunity for the extension of the ski season by using the wonderful conditions of ski tracks on the northern slopes. It is considered that this investment can possibly be the biggest one in Bulgarian ski resort for winter season 2008/2009. In conclusion, it should be also mentioned that the summed up length of ski tracks in Pamporovo ski resort boasts 25km.
