The very high avalanche danger in the Bulgarian mountains continues! Big spontaneous avalanches on some slopes (slabs...), also spontaneous avalanches in FORESTS! There is a very week combination of layers below all the slabs and new snow from the previous 10 days...
Unfortunately 2 dead people in the last weeks, one of them in forest terrain!
Below are just some images from avalanches on very popular slopes:

At last, the winter came... With several snowfalls, strong winds and bitter cold. Some already enjoyed good powder runs, some are still waiting (for what?). We greet all of you skiing or touring somewhere out there and use the opportunity to make a warning for avalanche danger on steep lee slopes like those next to "Platoto" run on Bansko, "Markudzik 3" on Borovets and most of the terrains above "Aleko" on Vitosha.
