Snow Report for Bansko - Boasts the longest ski season in Bulgaria
Winter ski holidays in Bansko will see a high level of snowfall - an average of 160 days of snow - creating cover of up to 2m thick, especially on the upper slopes in the resort. With its highest slope at 2,600m, and most of the skiing taking place at around 2,000m (the lowest piste sits at 1,100m) snow conditions are generally excellent. The north-facing slopes in the resort mean that the pistes hold the snow well, and the cold temperatures allow for a great deal of fine powder. Recent investment in snowmaking facilities ensure that good snow conditions are always guaranteed, with the addition of 44 snow cannons on over half the slopes, and 12 grooming machines help to maintain the quality of the pistes. Even during bright sunny days, the upper slopes don't get too icy, but there can be quite windy conditions, especially at the very top of the mountains.
