Borovets 22nd Jan :D

Hey everyone,

Me and a mate are heading out to Borovets on the 22nd for our 1st time skiing...been told the area is great for beginners so found a cheap deal last min and were soooooooo exited Smile

Were going with Inghams and have booked a full ski package which includes tuition for 4 hours each day etc...was just wondering if anyone knows if we can use the slopes after the lessons?...hoping to get as much skiing done as possible...

And one last thing...I promise im almost done.. ...

Hi Chris, my girlfriend and I are newbies too. We head out on the 22nd from Gatwick, through Inghams, staying at the Rila.
Am assuming you have probably booked the "learn to ski" package like us?

re: Borovets 22nd Jan :D

The lifts open slightly before your lessons and close at 4. That usually gives at least an hour after lessons to use the slopes. Some of the rila slopes are flood lit and can be skied after 6 if you buy an additional lift pass. Think that the floodlit runs are blues and red so as newbie you might want to consider later in the week-once you have mastered the art!!!!!

While it says 4hrs the ski instructors in Boro are normally very good and I think you will find will stay with you nearly all day.If you then want you can continue after they have gone but you may find your legs will have had enough. Dont try to overdo it and tire your legs too much as you will find the next day when you want to push a bit harder you have not got the power you need. Ask SP what he was like after a lesson with Christos daughter.

re: Borovets 22nd Jan :D

in lev it varys to be honest between 2.50 lev and 4.00 depending on what beer to be honest stay with local beer it quite nice bit gasy but really cheap. meal about 30 lev id say again depending what you eat but if you think 30 lev is like £13 and its feeds you both cant complain. when i first started going i was about 11 and the exchange rate was 3.10 which was awsome.
