re: 2nd

lets try that again, there is a ski depot in the basement of the Samakov hotel which we have used on our last 4 visits. Couldn't tell you what they charge as we always book our lift pass/ski hire/tuition through our tour operator as it works out a lot cheaper. Beleive their prices are on the hotel web site though. Plus Kas may be able to recommend some others.

Hi
We are a family of four flying out on 2 Jan and staying at Flora. It's our first time in Borovets and looking forward to it. All skiers
Would be nice if people are meeting up for a pint.
My two lads are 23 and 16, and I'm sure they could do with time away from the parents!!

re: 2nd

we're (mam, 2 sisters & myself) are flying out on the third from newcastle, staying in the iglika. trying snowboarding for the fist time with my sister so it should be a laugh. i'm 23, my sister is 17 so we'll be escaping my mam and younger sister a fair bit i would have thought. if you don't see us, you'll probably hear us.
