Just got back from a great week in Pamps.
Got diverted to Sofia on the way out which was a real pain but eventually got a taxi (260 levs!). Fog was horrendous but was all clear today.
Conditions were great for the first couple of days before a few icy patches started to appear - just in time we had a couple of inches of fresh snow which saw us through to the end of the week. Most of the blues/reds still have a good covering but they will need more snow soon as the green run is suffering in ...

Was surprised by the lack of people in the resort - never seen it so quiet so early in the season. We found that it paid to try different places to eat and drink as they are desperate to atract custom + some places will discount prices (beer 4 levs in some places which I thought was pretty reasonable).
Ended the week on a real high yesterday with a blast on the Skidoos - not to be missed - followed by a great night in the White Hart - roll on March when we do it again!

re: Back from Pamps
Joff, what were the prices like in the White Hart this year?re: Back from Pamps
... also, what were the prices like in the pubs/cafes near studenets middle station? (can't remember their names)Cheers in advance mate.
re: Back from Pamps
Hi SteviePint of lager (Kamenitsa I think) - 5 lev
Pint of Strongbow - 8 lev (ouch!)
Rum & Coke - 6 levs
We ate in the Ranch + the Rossignol pub at the bottom of the green run at Studenets. We paid 4 lev for a bottle of beer, cant recall all the food prices but chicken soup was only 3 lev in the Ranch, garlic bread 5 lev, Schnitzel 14 lev. More expensive at the Lodge at the top (I think 6 lev for soup, 8 lev for an Omelette).
re: Back from Pamps
Thanks Joff. Nice to hear there are still some reasonable prices about. Heard some "stupid price" stories recently... I am happy again
