Snow came in Borovets! Last night it snowed in Borovets. The new snow in the resort is about 5 cm, but the upper slopes got more of it. The uncovered, grassy patches of the resort are finally ok. The temperature is not very low, but this snow cover will last till 15 Feb when the big snow in Bulgaria is expected. Hopefully we will finally get the long expected snow cover improvement.
