Bulgaria Ski discussion board

We've been 3 times, Jan and Feb last year (Jan first time skiing, loved it so much we booked to go back the day after we arrived home) and also Jan this year - I feel sorry for the people visiting Borovets for the first time this season (so far) as it is nowhere near its best, but saying that we had a good holiday and are due back out on the 6th Feb with fingers crossed for a large dump of snow beforehand.

We met some first timers in Jan this year and they were somewhat dissapointed but after seeing pictures we had taken of the resort in Feb 09 are going to give Borovets another go.

For us, as long as our friends are there and it dosen't change from the quaint, sometimes quirky place that it is we will go back and our skiing is improving slowly, infact the lack of snow pushed my husband to ski Yasterbets, something he would't of done if the Royal residence and Musala Patway had been open.

For all first timers, go with an open mind - You don't need much more than the nursery slopes (top and bottom) and the blue runs - Have fun and I hope Borovets grabs you as much as it has us we are already planning 2011

Snow dancing as I write

Hi Kas.
Came off the Rilla slopes around 1300hrs today as the Rilla 4 person chair was getting very busy. I an intermediate/survivor skier so had a 2 hour lesson with Laura Angelov (Crazy Christos daughter) am totally wiped out my skiing was getting lazy have found muscles I forgot I had. Don't know what Ian was rattling on about (mentioned above) skiing has been very good on the Rilla Slopes all week. Yes it gets a bit icey in afternoon but then we head out to Ystrebets. Will have to find out tomorrow if these are open. 1600hrs now and still a little snow falling. Did the Happy Duck last night got in with some Scots, Bulgarians on Kareoke. The Welsh won the night. Checking off now heading for Katys tonight for the famous steak & stilton dinner, then a few
Catch you tomorrow hopefully
