Yes Dianne, looking at the charts for at least the next week the weather fronts over Europe just don't quite make it to Bulgaria and Bansko.

Looking like a vintage start to the year for many of the Apline resorts.

Weather playing at its usual unreliable self. Shame.

With the weather forecast all the way to December the 7th showing sunshine, no temperatures below 4 degrees, and NO rain....It will be rather a snowless Grand Opening
