Borovets 14/1/12

Morning all,

We are heading to Borovets on 14/1/12 for the first time, there are 6 of us, 4 party animals, an oldie and a 7 year old.

Are there any do's don'ts. What are the best runs etc, and also any rave reviews of places that we must visit (drinking establishments primarily)!

Tallulah

Very Happy Very Happy Booze Booze Booze

Do visit the White House and Bobby's Bar. You'll get a very friendly welcome from Kas and Bobby.

Do enjoy yourself.

Don't hurt yourself.

My personal opinion is that the best runs are from the top down Yastrebets but the best family run with a little 'un is the Musala pathway. Don't do it on a board and make sure it's got a good snow cover as it's a long way to walk if not, but on a sunny day it's very beautiful.

If the really long Royal Residence green is open then that's nice just so you can stop off at George's hut and have some hot rakia and a hot dog cooked over an open fire - but it's another soft green with lots of flats.

For pure skiing then get to the top IMHO.

I would agree that the best runs are the Yastrebets ones

I like to catch the gondola to the top and then turn right and board down to the top of the Yastrebets chair lift then spend all morning boarding down yastrebets!! Around lunch i board to the gondola halfway point and catch the gondola back up to the top, lunch in the white house and then board on the Markudjik side for the afternoon!!
