Having a great time in Boro but have one warning. The Martinovi 4 man chair (one in fromt of Rila) must be used with care.

There is no way I will take the kids up there which is a shame as it's the night skiing chair and the older ones would love to go up.
All it needs is to be run a little slower and it would be fine but It seems borosports care little for peoples safety.
Rant over! Back to having some fun on the super conditions!

Good point this Jez, this chair really does scoop you up and chuck you off. I can't say that I noticed the lifties laughing but they weren't particularly sympathetic when people fell off at the top...

It's been that way forever. If you sit on the left of it it is easier to get off.

hey my mother managed it wots all the fuss lol, no your right it did give her a shock not just at the end but also at the beginning, i all saw a lady getting taken down on a stretcher from the lift. 363 morn sleeps bring it on.re: Boro Martinovi 4 man chair
The Nescafe team were giving away Coffee at the bottom of this lift recently. I managed to hold a cup of coffee and my poles whilst getting on this lift. I got a wet leg as some of the beverage spilled whilst getting on the lift but it mde a change having something to drink on the way up. Wouldn't want to try getting off it with a coffee

Must agree I had a nightmare on this chair, when i got scooped up I felt it was too low for my height and my left leg got sucked under the bottom causing pain in my knee.Getting off was then an issue due to this happening, if this was a little slower i don't think this would have happened.
re: Boro Martinovi 4 man chair
I agree with all the comments here. The lift was far too quick to get off, especially if 4 people where on the lift. The chair swung round very quickly, always hitting the outside person who then crashed into the other people. I was wiped out twice. The operators where not bothered, they just let people pile up in front of the lift. It took a timely intervention from the Ski Instructor to prevent any real damage.re: Boro Martinovi 4 man chair
I'm looking forward to it, haha!
