Borovets, advice needed!

Hello, well we're heading to Borovets for half term (guess it's gonna be busy then!) Mum's organised it for Dad's 80th!! There's 11 of us going. Would really appreciate some good advice. We're staying at Moura, that much is sorted, yet to arrange any lift passes, ski hire and lessons. Is it best to get it organised before we go? My kids are 6, 10 and 16 and have never skied before. The rest of us are adults/OAP's of varying abilities.
Any advice very welcome,
Thanks, Rachel

Nice hotel, although watch the steps out front ... they can get slippy. Watch out for the big parrots in reception too!

Always cheaper booking things beforehand if you are planning on skiing/boarding most days. Check with your tour op or ask Bobby and Kas on here.

I can thoroughly recommend Hunters. Our kids had not skied last year and were doing fine after just a couple of days.

They were 5, 8 and 10 at the time. We are off again this Match and will be using Hunters again for the kids' lessons.

There is a video of my lad at the end of week on YouTube if you want to take a look here: http://bit.ly/xOu7MN

You are going to have a great time!

Hi Rachel
We went to Borovets for the first time last year and loved it. I recommend Hunters too for the tuition and the quality of the equipment. We have booked with them again this year Wink

It might be worth checking out the price with your tour operator too and they can do some good deals in advance.
I am sure you will all have a great time.
