Balkan offer a beginners ski pack, which is cheaper, and then another ski pack for more experienced skiers which costs a bit more. I am an experienced skier and was wondering if I am likely to face any potential hassles if I buy the beginners/cheaper ski pack even though I am not a beginner?? Anyone else either done this or know of anyone who has done this?Cheers
re: Balkan Holidays Ski Packs
I always buy the beginners pack done so now 4 times 3 with Balkan last time with Inghams. Never had a problem.All it is is a voucher for the instructor, I have also done it for my next trip with Inghams. But if they have had a sudden crackdown dont blame me if you have to pay the extra

Cheers for the beta Daniel.P.S thanks for the private email about the other site. However, the only email that I have is Hotmail and the site doesn't accept it. Site does look great though.
re: Balkan Holidays Ski Packs
yep ive done this too but now i have my own board and boots its not economical to do so.re: Balkan Holidays Ski Packs
You will face problems this year unlike previous years, because on the first morning when the ski school collect the vouchers they will put the Beginners Ski Pack people in a different area.
If you say you have skied before and have the Beginner Voucher, then you will be asked to pay the LOCAL difference in price.
This applies only to Bansko, dont know about the other resorts.
By knowing how many people have booked LTS in advance, they know how many ski instructors they will need ...

re: Balkan Holidays Ski Packs
Sound advice. Thanks.I have just had a look at the 2nd edition of the 05/06 winter Balkan Holidays brochure and they have also confirmed what you are saying.
re: Balkan Holidays Ski Packs
They always say that. Me I will take the chance as always.re: Balkan Holidays Ski Packs
some people can have boarded before lots of times like me but far as im concerned im still a beginner so i always book the learn to board pack ok its diferent to the ski pack but concepts the same and i have my own board thats at boro though but then soon as anyone sees me board you cant argue fact that i need to be in the beginners groupre: Balkan Holidays Ski Packs
I know what you mean by that Julia, some people are happy to go with the beginners again.But experienced skiers who book LTS will either have to stay in the BG group or pay to upgrade to the proper ski pack.
I am in a position to know these things VERY well ....!!
