Tim,

We all know it is far more than a 7% price increase in Borovets.

Lets forget the exchange rate, it has nothing to do with a lev price increase in Borovets.

Easy now Tiger,as i've posted it does account a certain percentage of it,please read my post carefully!!

Hey and lets not forget,i paid £6 for a vodka and coke in Bristol airport..

Prices have gone up,but i still only spent £300 for me and my daughter for the week,and £250 in Jan when i was out there with the lads,all those who know me will agree i can drink a drop or 2 too!! A Bibblybobs... Very Happy

Simple fact is if thats to expensive for you then don't go,but please change the record ...

re: BULGARIA - YOU NEED TO LISTEN

Personally cant see the connection between the price increases in Borovets and the price of vodka and coke in Bristol airport. But thanks for the tip-off Wink

I will take your invitation, I would hate to bore you.

The Major of Smolian is interested only of many more investors/developers filling his pocket for allowing permissions to build everywhere until his reign is about to finish and also until himself and his relatives down to 3rd removed, get what they wanted, build their places on top of each other and finally spoil the place for good.After that it is not important.

Perhaps not the mayor then (although I'm not fully convinced that is the full case) but is it not worth a try to reach the decision makers? Alternatively we can complain to one another on here then rather than directing our points to those that matter. Not that I'm moaning that much as my complaints are relatively minor.

Personally if I was a decision maker and I was suddenly hit with a wealth of complaints at least I'd think about how this may hit my bottom line in the future.

Anyone ...

Anyone know who these people are e.g. Pamporovo AD, Borosports etc more importantly any contact details in the public domain?

re: BULGARIA - YOU NEED TO LISTEN

pete where did you get your ski gear from?
Bindings dont break just like that unless you are a 'one crazy fast skier'
Lack of slopes-this is the hardest thing for any BG lover to defend and the last which will get sorted unfortunately.Ali the bindings cannot be self tested.there are charts,mechanisms to establish is placed correct.ski Hire should be up to scratch and doing it every time.
Alpine Angel-dont hope for massive enlargement of any BG resort including your beloved Pamporovo ...

Alpine Angel-dont hope for massive enlargement of any BG resort including your beloved Pamporovo.All of this will make very little impact .
If the number of flats has increased by 100% since last year does one bird(poxy lift ) make the spring-NO.The congestion will get even worst.The same goes for Bansko(there is hopeless and it looks Borovets is going the same way)
WHERE ARE NOW ALL THE FORUM BG LOVERS WHICH ATTACKED EVERY ONE POSTING NEGATIVES ON HERE DURING THE WINTER?
HAVE YOU GONE UNDERGROUND OR YOUR COMPUTERS ARE ALL BROKEN?
Or the party line has changed now to more relistic one.
Nice one all of you.
I know it is hard to look at bad report flooding in about the place you had idolized for so long.

re: BULGARIA - YOU NEED TO LISTEN

very interesting posts all make valid points.
This was my third season in BG and most definately my last. The prices have shot up dramatically since joining the EU or is it that the BG operators of the relevant resorts becoming greedy it think the later.
They see the skier as a license to print money this will backfire and they will see people quite happy to pay extra costs to other resorts where they are treated with respect. Adios BG Bonjour France

Are you and Mike y the same person? I ask because you both say the same thing.

You say that people who happen to like/love Bulgaria have been shouting you and others down for daring to criticise Bulgaria but you two do not have a single good thing to say AND attack anyone for saying that they will be going back despite changes.

We are all entitled to make our own minds up as whether something suits us or not, we don't need the likes of you trying to barrage or bully us into ...

There have been changes but there has been so much advice on here as to how to still find the best of Bulgaria. Go and ski on your endless, good value slopes, where there's always snow and people willing to smile at you.
