Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Borovets is a great place to ski.

Bobby's Bar is a must simply due to Kas and Bobby who cannot do enough to help.

Snow mobiles - see this thread .

Horse riding - go the other side of the Alpin (come out of the Rila, turn left). My wife and girls, all who ride, went last March - loved it.

Kit - can't comment on Borosports as we use Hunters.

I have some vids on YouTube you may like to take a peek at here.

You will have a great time!

Thanks everyone for all the useful information, it's really appreciated-and you have all put my mind at ease, so to speak. (keep the info coming, if you can!)

It was my decision to do something different and book Bulgaria this year, so I feel a responsibility (I said to everyone in my party "on my head be it!") But, if the people in Borovets are as helpful and friendly as the members on this forum, I know we will have a great time!

Sarah mentioned she thought Borosports have new equipment this year- can anyone confirm this?

Thanks Jez for your post-horse riding sounds a good idea and really different-would not have thought of that. I took a look at your vids - well done to your son BTW- very impressed with his skiing- my 25(!) year old daughter is a complete beginner and your son has set the bar high- I've sent her the link and I told her I expect her to be able to do the same by the end of the week!!

Thanks again everyone!

There are also some (quite smelly!) horse and carts around to help get your bearings and to occasionally carry you off the slope when injured - thats another story!! make sure you don't accept the first price though. Further afield is Rila monastory well worth a visit but quite a long trip, a bit closer is the King's hunting lodge if you fancy a day off the skis and most importantly, there are plent of very reasonable spa treatments available, much cheaper than at home - try the Flora or the Samokov hotel. Enjoy!
