I think it does depend on where you go because a friend has just got back from Borovets and he said it was ok but lots of ice and some even bare lower down which is pretty unusual for feb. High was all good though.
I haven't managed to get away this season so I am off to chill factore in Manchester to get my fix

I was in Soll last week and although the recorded depth will not read very deep, the skiing conditions were excellent. When we were there we had a good dump of snow over 24 hours and even for the good intermediate skier it was more tiring and challenging for a couple of days but then again this must really help your technique for when the pistes are perfect.

I agree, curry and snow do not go together! :lol:

My frau said last weeks conditions were terrific, really good skiing. That's great. If she is happy, I'm happy. If she isn't happy,.......

Perhaps we've been spoilt by the past couple of years which have been exceptionally good.

Nothing is guaranteed in life snow being one of these, we need to be able to ski all conditions just how many holidays have you skied perfect powder, for me not many six years possibly so enough winging and ski to the conditions :D

This winter sucks eggs around here (Dolomites). Worst year since 06/07. No good dump since christmas. I'm driving distance and it hasn't been worth a day trip....streams of High pressure after high pressure from mid-atlantic. Long range models are bleak, but here's to hoping the cycle changes soon.

Where are you based as I was looking to ski the Dolomites the beginning of March, thankfully nothing booked yet :evil:
