Hi Jo,
I've just sent an e-mail to a work friend on this, so I've copied and pasted. My opinions of course, so don't anyone flame me.

Here a list of what you will need to buy:



1.Salopettes – fit is important. Should really spend no more than around £40 on your 1st pair.
2.Ski Jacket – should be looking to spend around £50 max, they are all very similar in terms of performance (at this level)
3.Good technical socks will set you back around £15 a pair, you need at least 3 pairs ...

3.Good technical socks will set you back around £15 a pair, you need at least 3 pairs (depends how often you intend to change them!). Don’t be fooled by cheap socks, they are no good.
4.Gloves are another essential purchase; get at least 200g insulated gloves or better, may set you back around £30-£50.
5.Snood – one of those tube things that goes over your head and is used like a scarf, around £5.
6.Ski goggles – are not essential, you only need them when it’s snowing, so I would buy in resort if or when you need them. Expect to pay around £35.
7.Sunglasses – an essential item for me.
8.Hat – personal choice
9.Thermal base layers around £20 from most clothes shops


Hope it helps,

Matt.

One of my favourite items are those little handwarmers you can get. Mine are like a gel with a disc inside that you flex to activate them. You then revive them by boiling for 10 mins you can also buy disposable ones.

Nicky I just bought some from ebay in the shape of a lady wearing a bikini, thought the guys I know would love to warm their hands on those....

re: Any tips please?

Using a mobile can be a very expensive way to stay in touch with your friends and family who are also in Bulgaria. Buy some walkie talkies - they are great. Suggest you get ones with at least 5 mile range as the mountains can often weaken the signal.
