How deep does the snow have to be for some snowboarding fun? Does anyone have any comments about Pamporovo?

You need to know what that 10 cm means. Do they have a 10cm base ? (not good). Have they just had 10 cm of fresh snow ? (could be good if there's a base of 30cm plus below). Does the resort have snow making equipment and how much have they made so far ?.

If a beginner and your question sugest that you might be,then how much fresh snow a resort has may not matter. In your first week you won't be venturing off the green runs. So the question to ask is what base of snow do they have, (that is compacted real or man made snow under thier runs). If that is only 10cm, then it might be ok for learning on, but as mentioned in one of the THREE other threads you started, rent a board as you may well get some base damage.
