Some may not agree but I think boro is poor for beginers
Took my 2 young ones there last year and found the nursary slopes lacking
One outside the rila is ok but it was to busy so the beginers runs down was really limted because of the amount of people they got such a small run down there "milage" was very small
We have skiied many resorts for the last 20 years and sorry to say boro is not good for the starter skiers
Thought boro was a nice surprise after all the horror forum ...

Thought boro was a nice surprise after all the horror forum reports we read but personally I would not reccomend boro as a good beginers resort
Hope you have a good hol where ever you go

Thanks Spice,Both of the kids have been twice before so are fine on greens and blues, so the nursery isn't something they need. I am just worried that only reds are open at the moment... Hopefully this will change, but if not, I'll just have to go elsewhere at the last minute!
Regards,
Chris.

Ah okSnow forcast looks a bit better with snow next week

You may know already but we found the road from the top to the bottom was ace, my boys first time skiing they picked it real quick bit managed the long run fine your little ones I would think would be fine
Enjoy!
Cheers

re: Boro, do I cancel and switch to Bansko / Pamps
if youre really thinking about switching resort because of the conditions, id be looking to switch to another country..but to be honest i believe by the time you get there the conditions will be great!!re: Boro, do I cancel and switch to Bansko / Pamps
the minimum transfer time from Sofia to Pamporovo is 3 hours and that is assuming no snow or bad traffic. Realistically you should allow 4 hours. Realistically transfers to Bansko are 2.5 hours and Borovets is 1.5 hours. these can be quicker if there is no snow and traffic is ok. Borovets to the airport can be done in just less than an hour but the experience would be a little hair-raisingre: Boro, do I cancel and switch to Bansko / Pamps
Thanks everyone for your replies. I think I will keep my fingers crossed that snow arrives before the 30th in Boro. If not, and Pamps has snow, I think I will book an apartment / hotel there a few days before I fly out to Sofia. From what I've seen it looks quite easy access and child friendly.Regards,
Chris.
