Pamporovo Resort Winter 2011/2012

The ski runways in Pamporovo have various degrees of difficulty, ranging from green – suitable for beginner skiers, to black ones – a real challenge for professionals. Their overall length is 37 km. The resort is especially suitable for ski running. The overall length of the ski-running route is 25 km., crossing charming areas of Pamporovo to Mougla village, and the other way round.

Most numerous are the runways for beginner skiers – green and blue. About 90% of the runways have been equipped with a system for artificial icing, which ensures constant snow cover throughout the whole winter season, independent of the relatively low altitude. The number of the functioning snow appliances within the ski zone amounts to 80. This number is to be gradually increased every year.

The appliances serving the runway network in Pamporovo have a capacity of 11 600 people per hour. The 9 haulers and 6 carrier lifts ensure timely and comfortable transport for the skiers. Pamporovo possesses and utilizes a modern access system of ropeways, a product of the Austrian company “Аxess”.

The availability of ample machine park for runway processing, including the latest model of Prinwood – “The Polar Wolf”, brings about the excellent ski opportunities. Pamporovo Joint Stock Company has at its disposal six pieces of snow-pressing machines of leading companies in this sector, such as “Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug” and “Prinoth”. The company has been further investing in the expansion of the artificial-icing system. For this purpose there has been mounted and is now functioning a fully automated icing system, with a total length of the pipelines 13,860 m and 145 pcs. of hydrating shafts.

Ski patrols of police and ski instructors were introduced in Pamporovo in the last season, in order to ensure protection of tourists on the runways, as well as to monitor their safety from possibly intoxicated visitors and skiing on dangerous stretches.
