I have just got back from Boro in the early hours of Sunday morning (Manchester fight was 2 1/2 hours late). Holiday was a great success. Resort better than expected, maybe not as 'good' as many French resorts but you get what you pay for. Everything in resort was cheap. Skiing was good (except for Tueday when it rained and everybody got soaking wet) but icy back into the resort itself. Early morning crowds for gondola but I've had that in many resorts. Rila hotel average but good enough - ...
I have just got back from Boro in the early hours of Sunday morning (Manchester fight was 2 1/2 hours late). Holiday was a great success. Resort better than expected, maybe not as 'good' as many French resorts but you get what you pay for. Everything in resort was cheap. Skiing was good (except for Tueday when it rained and everybody got soaking wet) but icy back into the resort itself. Early morning crowds for gondola but I've had that in many resorts. Rila hotel average but good enough - same with the food, not fantastic but edible and plenty of it. Plenty of hot water for bath or shower after a day on the slopes. Ski school was good - Borosport - and my instructor, Tony, was ace although some of the others had mixed reviews. Kids had first skiing holiday and had a great time. If you go Skidooing make sure you get one with lights - mine didn't work and I managed to turn it over on a bend (couldn't see a b****y thing in the dark!). Locals very friendly (and keen to sell you something) Levs, Pounds they don't care.
Thank you Borovets (and Tony) I'll be back.
It's snowed virtually non-stop for a whole week (I've just got back too) and there's plenty to last for a while longer. Can't tell you forcasts, but lots of low (and high!) clouds and the temperature's been dropping (was around freezing at the end of the week), so plenty more snow looks likely.
Don't know about forecast that far ahead - check bulgariaski website nearer the time. Water fine to drink unless small child or temperamental stomach - we had no problems. Have fun.....wish I was there....

We were on the same flight as Kevin but seem to remember it as only half an hour late, but 2 1/2 hour late on the outward journey. (We got to Samokov Hotel at about 6am and were skiing by 9.30!)
Back to Manchester at about 3am, then had a three hour drive home.
Had a brilliant time, will do a full report when less jet-lagged.............

We were on the Britannia flight - one guy in our ski school was on your flight - in at 6.00 and out on the slopes by 10.00 and you're right it was a great week!!
