Boarding Runs - Borovets

Can anyone recommend the best runs in Borovets for snowboarders?

I've been riding for a while now, but the mrs has just passed her lessons.

I've heard that the greens are really flat and avoiding drag lifts and t-bars would be a better option

Is there a terrain park or half pipe anywhere?

heh when are you going? i am going 4th march, done a couple of ski seasons, so might be cool to meet up and get a pisten bully with a few others to do some off piste stuff

re: Boarding Runs - Borovets

We're going on the25th of Feb so we leave on the 4th of March, but if I find anywhere I'll post a message.

Have a good one!

cheers

Yastrebets 3 is by far the best run for boarders, there is a chair to the top, so no larking about with drags. There is a good jump at the junction by the cafe, definately my favourite run.

Cheers faceplant.

Do you know of this mythical terrain park that has recently been built? Not sure if its just a blag or not

re: Boarding Runs - Borovets

The best boarding runs in Borovets are from the top of the Gondola down Yastrebets and back up the 4 man chair lift at Yastrebets. There are several routes down from the 4 man chair.

Nice one Mark - great to know we can ovoid some of the t-bars !

re: Boarding Runs - Borovets

Definitely a good idea to avoid the button lifts - i only managed to get up halfway on a green run, then got off and walked the rest!!

I was only learning but the other people i went with in my group said the runs from the gondola were the best - there's plenty of choice, especially wide runs for practising turns.

Cool - damn those button lifts !
