Hi Gary.

Do you have your own equipment or have you hired it? Trying to find best price for ski equipment, lessons and passes. Do you know what the best ski school and equipment hire place is in pamps?

Good news on the snow situation!

cheers Booze

we have our own, the boys have hired theirs but it was part of our Crystal package, as far as I know it is cheaper to book from the UK for all extra, the best person to ask may be pamperovo pete, if you start a new thread asking for his help I am sure he will see it and reply.
For your info we paid £129.00 each for the boys that was for skis, boots pass and lessons and £89.00 for our lift passes, looking at this site they are claiming cheaper than the resort if you book through them at 166 euros for the full package (approx £13Cool and passes for 108 euro (£90), children cheaper, so very close to crystal
I think the lift pass at the resort is 138 euros (£115) so book b4 you come out

Gary is spot on, especially if you select the 'learn to ski' pack. Prices will vairy slightly depending on which tour company you have chosen. If you have booked independantly then your options are more limited but here is a link you may wish to pursue.

i paid 115 with balkan holidays learn to ski pack (about 12 times)
this includes lift pass boots skies and ski school for 6 days
as pete says all tour ops offer add on option but cheaper to book full pack

On the ski hire front, as we have a late flight we may be able to squeeze in a 7th day skiing. Obviously the packs run out after 6 days - can you advise where bet to arrange a 1 day pack + pass?

Cheers

You can buy a 1 day pass at the booth next to the 3 man chairlift (unless they've moved it this year.)
For a days ski hire call in at the Malina main depot or Interski. Either will sort you out with your gear.

Cool

Ian, You can get an extra days hire of your ski equipment from Galina - who has arranged your six day equipment hire. Just pay cash locally.

Thanks SW - will do.

Just on blue ski Run 9, as a beginner 2 years ago and no snow last year, this is a new one for me. How long is it (in time) and is it likely to be pisted?

Been back down it today, fully pisted, in time as a beginner 15-20 mins thats with a few stops.

If you are going next week, it will be perfect skiing conditions, you will need to take a scarf or a ski mask for your mouth and chin as it very very cold.

All over for me this year, unless those 6 lucky lottery balls fall nice for me
