hi all
we are going out to boro 14th jan(1st time to bulgaria) & have a slightly less experienced boarder among us that would like to avoid some of the less boarder friendly areas ie dirty great big long flat bits.not worried about blacks & faceplant territory,just don`t want too much walkin if at all avoidable.any info on big walking areas would be great.
also we are staying at hotel Bor(we`re more slope pikey than aspen aristocracy)roughly how much of a hike is it to the lifts?the skier ...

re: BIT OF BORO BOARDING ADVICE
from the red yastrabetz runs back down to the gondola theres a considerable bit of flat, and wouldn't recomend the musala pathway or the royal residence ski way for a snowboarder, flat sections and a bit uphill...
re: BIT OF BORO BOARDING ADVICE
Stayed at the Bor a few times, and it gets a few mentions here http://bulgariaboarding.blogspot.com/2010/01/borovets-2008.html
re: BIT OF BORO BOARDING ADVICE
Other than what Dean has mentioned all other parts/slopes are fine. You mentioned face plants hope the boarder wears a gum shield, seen this happen fellas top teeth came through bottom lip. Gum shields recommended.
Bor fair hike up in the mornings half to three quarters of a mile, daughter & hubby stayed there 2 years ago. Pikey an overstatement.
S.P.
re: BIT OF BORO BOARDING ADVICE
so in short....stay away from the far left side of the map & the musala,the hotel is ok & get a cab for the skier in the mornings.thanks very much to you all for the advice
re: BIT OF BORO BOARDING ADVICE
Yastrabetz runs are on the right side of the map, and i reccomend doing them, just keep using the yastrebetz chair lift to keep doing them then only go back down to the gondola when you're done, as there is a lot of flat like I said, but worth it
re: BIT OF BORO BOARDING ADVICE
Go see Kas & bobby in bobbys bar when you get there. Bobby is a board instructor and so will be able to tell you the bits to avoid.dbut
