Unless you turn out to be an absolute fantastic skier you will have no chance of doing it in your 1st wk. Even if you think you can give it a go it would be an idiotic thing to do you could well end up hurting yourself or more importantly someone else. Except your limitations Confused

re: Beginners Doing The Wall

that poem's totally ruined my romantic vision of The Wall - less to do the with its quality and more to do with the fact it I thought it was in Boro and not Pamps.

Live and learn, eh?

I'd pay the £50

Last in Pamps in 2002. On the Thursday our Instructor took us to the top of the Wall after doing 2/3 of it earlier in the week a couple of times without too much problem.

Almost needed fresh salopets at the top!

Got down, but with a couple of slips - it was very icy when we were on it.

I'd listen to Daniel Snell - it would be dangerous - just think what happened to the experienced guy in Bansko a couple of weeks ago on a black run.

re: Beginners Doing The Wall

Do you intend to get down there without falling to win? Because anyone can do any run, its all a matter af grace!

I did it last year, seem to remember its quite bumpy. Ask your instructor to teach you advanced mougl field techniques Wink

re: Beginners Doing The Wall

Did the slope after a week myself. It depends on the group u are in, the instructor you have and the conditions. Take care and be confident, but 'the Wall' is nothin compared to slopes in Borovets!

re: Beginners Doing The Wall

Martin before your reply my question was going to be what is the wall, it looks like a nursery slope to me.lol, like ya said after one week at ski school it is possibe to tackle one if ya can turn pretty quick, done it myself but i was 15 at the time, just booked bulgaria because its cheap and wife cant ski and not sure if she will like it but anyway shes dont ski school i am doing boarding school, plus i have been there before so hopefully we will both enjoy it. tried black run in austria ...
