Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Bansko for us every year. As for beginners, you couldn't be more wrong. The pistes were bashed more this year than previously, enabling learners to go higher and try out runs with everyone else. My wife learned to ski there with great intruction from a very patient female instructor.
Superb lessons all week and felt she came on leaps and bounds, compared to Italy. The gnats knob became a favourite run for my wife, in the beginning, especially at the end of a tiring day at ski school. She could gently plough or parallel using what she'd learned for the full length of the run all the way back to the hotel. Excellent consolidation.

Mat, the bottom of the run in from the ski road that meets the base of the black off Chalin Valog is serviced by a t-bar which is ideal for beginners. I saw groups also at the end of the red being taught last season.
As for whats steeper ?? Challin Valog black is a challenge, especially with fresh snow but reasonably wide, Tomba even wider and not a constant gradient....
Now, how about the black mid way down the Dobriniste blue, thats narrow, and v steep
Hahaha, my dads bigger than your dad, come on guys, to some extent you can make any slope a challenge if you want, ski it backwards, or on one ski.... or even `gulp' snowboard it

Yer right Mat, new road and bridge now to base of Challin Valog so i imagine its going to get some use this season. Re. the off-piste in Dobriniste, have viewed run under bottom half of chair and that looks interesting and portions of top but there looks to be some dead ends. Talking to a local he reckons theres loads on offer but best to ski with someone who knows their way. Could be a plan eh Looking into running trips down to the chair at Dobriniste, maybe just a bit of finding out this season, but if viable could be a good day out, still hoping it will be 15lv for a pass this season.....
