Have you changed the date yet? According to Snowbandit's historical snow information you should have a 92% chance of having enough snow to ski on if you go on the later date - only one really bad year from '96 to 2008 :D

It's the last 16 years, so from 1993/1994. :wink:

Snowbandit,
Thanks, that makes the odds even better (15/16) - 94% chance of enough snow for Sm4sh and his missus to ski on :D :D

What were the odds like for his original date in January?

Sm4sh,
Some of the resorts will give you a snow guarantee (but only the ones that always have enough snow, like Val Thorens in France). I'm afraid Borovets doesn't fall into that category though :cry:

94% chance of enough snow sounds much better to me than 47%, so I reckon it's well worth changing the date :D
