Kas, Big Thanks for the updates. They have proved invaluable alongside your local knowledge.

I am out on the 16th for a week, just praying Gatwick and Easyjet can get us out there.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...... Borovets not Gatwick!

Know what you mean Nelly,
wife thinks I am bonkers for speaking to "strangers" on this forum, but am unable to resist. I look first thing in morning and last thing at night.
for my part, this is such a help and always enjoy the threads. Keep up the good work.

P.S. see you in Titanic for a beer Nelly ?

Hi, saw the snow yesterday and took the plunge, Booked for hotel Samokov on 30th Jan, (£1800 for 4 adults with full ski packs and insurance), think now may have been a bit hasty, just found this forcast -

Hi Kas,

Thanks for the updates.

I'm also coming out on 23rd and I've a few queries I'd be grateful for your input on:

1. Ski Packs - do you think I'm best holding off until I get out there (given the conditions and not getting a full ski pass)? Do you save much getting the ski hire beforehand? Any recommendations?

2. I've seen quite a few reports about the Gondola being closed a lot - this might be a silly question but can you get a taxi up there instead if it is? If so, how much ...

2. I've seen quite a few reports about the Gondola being closed a lot - this might be a silly question but can you get a taxi up there instead if it is? If so, how much, roughly is that likely to be?

3. If skiing is really poor, is it feasable to jump in a taxi/bus and go to another resort (Bansko looks like its got plenty of snow)?

Thanks in anticipation,
Christian.
