Firts time skiing - borovets in feb (stayling at Rila)
Kids want to know if you can buy/hire sledges - if they get fed up of falling over.

Loads of places sell plastic bum boards, which are a great laugh. Some tour companies do a sledging night as an apres ski thing.

We are taking a dumper truck inner tube this year, which should be a real laugh !!!

You can hire sledges by the black run (with steering and brakes) for 5 lev 1 hr 0r 3 lev 1/2 hr. Great fun for all the family.

Ali Very Happy
