Mr Mac, would I waste your life away? 8)

If you're staying in the forum, you don't need to use the drop-down; click the Latest Chat button (above right) to see the, er, latest chat or hit the "Forum Index" link (above left) to see the list of forums... just like it used to be.

The drop-down will (hopefully) make it easier / quicker to jump to the other main parts of the site, with the most popular resorts making an appearance there.

And in the blink of an eye we're all shiny and new... :wink:

We now have a new menu, and less cluttered header, across the site.

Any probs, broken links, broken pics, broken hearts (ok, not those)... post them here.

Anyone using a Mac? Does it work for you too? 8)


As you were, carry on...

I'm not so sure... methinks the steezy young dude may be wanting to "match" these with his spotted skis...

Losers...

At the same meeting in which UNESCO declared the Italian Dolomites a World Heritage site, they issued an ultimatum to Bulgaria over ski resort development in Pirin National Park.

The Park had been granted World Heritage site status since 1983 but that status has been increasingly and repeatedly challenged following on going ski resort development in the area. UNESCO has held five consultation meetings over Pirin since 2002.

With objections to planned development highlighted by a coalition of 30 Bulgarian environmental groups under the umbrella title, 'For the Nature,' UNESCO have opted to give Bulgaria until February 2020 to either abide by Bulgarian, EC and international laws and stop ski resort development in the national park, or see it added to UNESCO's list of 'World Heritage in Danger.'

The "For the Nature" coalition explains said that it first raised alarm about damage to the national park eight years ago when the construction of the ski zone in Bansko began. It claims that at the start of this year the Bulgarian government asked UNESCO to remove the resort towns of Bansko, Dobrinishte, and Razlog from the boundaries of the Pirin National Park because, the coalition claim, the government was unable to preserve the mountains from developers.

Currently two new ski areas are planned by Dobrinishte and Razlog, despite the fact, the "For the Nature" coalition say, that construction is illegal under the Bulgarian law for Protected Areas as well as the current Plan for Management of the Pirin National Park which remains in force to 2013.

I imagine they conduct extensive surveys of the skiers on Crystal transfer buses... :lol:

It's nonsense really - I can't see how more than about 25% of the trips we make could be identified as ski. We see and meet more and more skiers traveling independently each year - last season was no exception.

I'm sure they are. :roll: :thumbup: (hi guys)

I guess they didn't have space to mention that our traffic was up 15%, and way ahead of theirs for the entire season. Pesky Independent Sector... no demand you see?

Doesn't take a genius to work out which sector is going to benefit from the chalets and apartments the TOs have decided not to fill. 8)
