Borovets Ski Classes

Hi, this is our first time skiing and I was wondering if anybody can help with a query I've got. We are travelling as a family and the youngest is too young to ski and will be reluctant to go to kindergarden. We have paid for ski classes and wondered if this restricts when we can ski as we plan to take it in turns looking after our youngest which will mean dipping out on the odd lesson. Do the ski classes cover use of skis all day? Will we be able to ski on our own?
Thanks

I do not know how in Borovets (since going there first time as well), but usually (e.g.in Pamporovo) ski clases take no more than 4 hours per day (10-12 and 13-15).

Cafu, you should be fine.

Hi,

It will be fine, my friends & are regulars to Borovets and often join the class & leave when we've had enough (or to much brandy at lunch) or join after lunch. The skis are allocated to you for the week and you can pick them up/drop them off at any time

I only have 43 days to go, I think my work colleagues are about to kill me, so it's good to share the excitement!

Hi wonder if can help. We have 2 boys, 7 and 8. The 8yr old is booked into ski lessons, but the youngest into kindergarden, which I don't think he will want to go. Can the 7 yr old ski with the 8yr old, as most of the websites I read, that they have to be 8 to join the ski school. any advice much appreciated.
