Guys,

If you're going to Boro you'll have a great time (if you don't mind first time boarders being allowed on the reds after a 2-hour ski school) and I'd give a big thumbs up to the Hotel Lion, pricing is increasing for the apres ski but it's still good value compared to a lot of places.

But be extremely careful when you're changing in the ski shack at the bottom of the slopes ... there's guys employed there to do nothing other than stand watch for when people have not picked up their valuables. 3 of them on the left as soon as you walk in!

If you leave a cheap pair of gloves behind they'll kindly put them in the lost property ... but leave a £95 pair of Spyders behind and you'll need to get your ski instructor to do some negotiating for you ... I got my own gloves offered back to me for £50.

My own fault for leaving a pair of gloves behind I know, but only when I mentioned in passing of what and where I left them to my instructor did the info and situation arise.

I agree that the Ski Shack has a certain dodginess about it. Just have your wits about you. Some of the staff there sometimes speak English, but if you do have a problem claim not to understand you!
