If you are booked into ski school your ski's boots and sticks will be included, you will be fitted with these on your first day when you get put into your ski school, lots of great places to eat and drink in Borovets, you will love it! Have a great holiday Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

only one thing to add-packets of tissuesm,sometimes they charge you for paper in toilets or there is none.

we find that it is best to travel in your ski jacket instead of packing it. you will wear it on the slopes and out at night so why not on the plane!. i find that under my ski jacket when on the slopes i only need to wear a t-shirt and i am plenty warm enough, i have a silly hat rolled up and in my pocket for when the temperature drops. i just wear my ski trousers with nothing under them but my undies, however, my wofe has three tops on under her jacket, but all thin base layers. and she has ...

I was a first timer this time last year and had all the same questions and found this board FAB!! Razz Razz Razz. We are off again soon we caught the bug. I went with endless layers under my ski jacket and trousers thinking it must be cold but eneded up feeling like I was going to melt. It uses a lot of energy to keep picking yourself up and you seriously get boiling hot. Have fun you will have a great time. How old are your kids and where are you off to?
