Dan, you didn't say which hotel. If you are in the Samakov you will be in their school. Anywhere else you will most probably be with Borosports. Depending on where you are staying she will most likely have to find an instructor outside the Rila on the Sunday morning. It will appear to be mayhem and I guess she will not be going anywhere 'til about 10.30 at the earliest. Things will settle down after the first day and then you will find that she will be in her class from about 9.30 to 3ish but a lot depends on the instructor. That should give you an hour at the end of each day for some time together on the slopes. You can always ask the instructor where they will be going for lunch each day so you can meet up with her.

They won't mind, people pop in and out of the groups all the time. It is a great place to learn and the thing with Bulgaria and the structure of the lessons is that you should have a good time and really get to know the others in the class. Unlike some other places in Europe where you just don't get to know them. In BG you do spend all day with the instructor. It is good for people like me as I can get to ski with others rather than on my own. She should learn a lot. If she does stick with the class, you will still have some time at the end of the day.
