Bansko Christmas Eve Ski Conditions Video

Bansko ski conditions saw some icy conditions today. Still only four lifts open. See video of the icy top half of the Tomba run and my Christmas Greetings to all readers.



Some queues were around 20 minutes as the picture above shows.

Many visitors come to Bansko for the atmosphere, food and some fresh air. However keen skiers are likely to be disappointed over the next few days. Although light snow is forecast every day for the next four days, it is unclear at this stage whether these will transpire to be the big dump needed to ensure the resort is fully open.


The run down to Bansko is fully open and was pleasant in the sunshine. Impressive snow making coverage has made this possible.

Looks like today's high winds will subside. It will remain very cold.

But I was glad for all the thermal underwear today Inner gloves saved my fingers


A very Happy Christmas to all readers.

Bansko Ski Conditions

Bansko Ski Conditions. Report from today on the piste.

The snow is okay, but is mainly artificial. The picture here was taken just a few hours ago and you can see there is snow..

BUT only 5 lifts are open and there is an expectation of snow tonight.

Not a great start to the season but temperatures are now low. And its getting colder.

There is now a light dusting of snow in Bansko and this should mean tomorrow, Christmas Eve there should be more snow on the runs and, with luck, more lifts open. Wind speeds remain high though.

No queues at gondola today and beautiful sunshine. Tomba was open but some queues for about 10 minutes. Well there were only 4 lifts + baby lift + gondola open.
