What if theres no snow?

Yes, that's the one, where 155 died, and only about 10 people survived thanks to an ex fireman who told them to walk past the fire and go down the tunnel, rather than going up.
I get claustrophobic so hated that stupid train.
They sealed the tunnel up, and have replaced it with a gondola instead.
Sm4sh,
Austria is a very good place for ski-ing, as long as you don't pick a resort that's very low and go early or late in the season. Mayrhofen is one of the best ski resorts in Austria :roll:
I think it would be true to say that we all find it very difficult picking a resort, and spend a great deal of time adding up the pros and cons of each one (and it's a lot of fun as well and keeps us busy until our next ski holiday) :D

Austria is much better than Bulgaria I personally wouldnt go there again due to the lack of snow. For the first day there was little snow then it snowed tremendously the piste bashers didnt even compact the snow on the slopes there was small trees and bushes everywhere and it was frustrating clipping these. The only good thing is that its cheap to booze apre ski.

at least you are going in January - you would be more worried if it was March onwards in Borovets. As the others have said though - they will bus you to the nearest resort with snow, not ideal but better than nothing.
And yeah..you will drink a lot!!
