Boro off-piste

hi, anyone have off-piste experience in Borovets ?
If so, can you suggest good guides and give an idea of cost etc. Am aware of the safety issues, so would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Snow looks fab.

re: Boro off-piste

Most private instructors will take you off piste, normally they charge a rate for either their time or the numbers they are taking. They are usually happy to either ski or guide, I know our instructor-guide (and now friend)George took us all over last year, it was great. I left his number on another post, I am sure he would be able to help, or find someone who can.
George Vazharov - 00359 888 350 216 his English is very good also which helps.
