The conditions for winter sports in the ski zones of Bulgaria's winter resorts are very good on Wednesday, the Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) of the Bulgarian Red Cross reported to BTA. Avalanche warning remains outside those zones, given the new snowfall and wind.

A light to moderate wind is blowing in the high mountains. 

The weather is chilly. Snow is still falling in places. There is a new snow cover of about 15 centimetres. The resorts are open, the slopes are groomed, the MRS added. 

National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology's weather forecast for the mountains: Cloudy and foggy. Snow in many highland areas, with abundant amounts expected to fall in the Rila-Rhodope area, Mt Strandzha and Mt Sakar. Strong wind from the northeast; at mountaintops it will blow from the east-southeast. Snowstorms and snow drifts are expected in mountain passes. Highs: minus 4 C at 1,200 metres above sea level, minus 6 C at 2,000 metres.
