re: ADVICE
No worries needed Petrov, the falling over is sometimes the best/ funniest part my friend. And you'll DEFINATELY pick it up wihtin 3 days at the most, leaning you the last 2 or 3 to kick some ass, not fall on it.Youve made a wise choice good sir, and this first time wont be your last time!!
So best advice is have fun!!

Don't want to give too much away, as the joys of learning are the best fun you will ever have. The golden rule is to ALWAY keep your weight down the mountain. The moment you lean upwards is when you will fall. But don't worry, we all do it, even those of us who think we are good. 
The Bulgarian instructors are brilliant and you will be bombing down the mountain in no time at all.

To turn left just transfer your weight to your right ski keeping your weight on the uphill edge of your right ski as you turn, and to turn right, transfer your weight to your left ski and keep the weight on the uphill edge of your left ski.
It's as simple as that

re: ADVICE
Hi KarlosI learnt last year and my advice would be get your legs strengthened up before you go. Side stepping is not fun and you will have lots of it to do.
Just remember each morning as you struggle up out of bed with a hangover that NO PAIN - NO GAIN doesn't relate to the headache but the muscles you haven't ever used before!!!
You'll have great fun and be desperate to book for another ski holiday.
