HI guys,

Just thought I'd start a thread for those going to Borovets on Sat, a sort of meet and greet if you will!!

Looking forward to lots of snow and beers next week!

2x fellas going from Birmingham, staying at chalets couple of clicks outside of Borovets.
You'll certainly notice me, I'm the one with XL blue trousers, XXL red Jacket and looking like a whale on skis.

Looking forward to many 'sherberts' myself.
3rd time to Borovets for me.

Hoping to meet up with old instructor if he still works there - svetlo - you'll know him too if you meet him, has a lovely head of long curly black hair. First time I saw him i thought it was a girl from behind ...

Hi Andy

Flying from Manchester @ 1.45pm, stopping at Ela, we are 2 young at heart 40 year olds with a stroppy 13 year old son.

I'll be wearing a blue/grey coat, wife a black coat and we'll both be on our arses on the slopes and in the bars.

See you on Sunday

Cheers

Gary

We're flying from Heathrow and stopping at the Iglika Palace.

I boarded in Borovets for the first time in March but my mate is coming for his first time. Can't wait to get over there, the Tamworth snowdome is great but doesn't really offer hte same quality of views!

re: Borovets 3rd Jan - type here!!

I've seen the forecast for thursday and friday, few inches of snow is forecast Very Happy
It looks like the weekend may be clear skies.
Doesn't really make much difference to me as I too will be mostly on my backside, regardless of the quality and amount of snow!

Looking forward to the 'Brits go Bonkers' night - hope they still do it!

cheers
