We kitted our selves out athttp://www.skiwear4less.com/index.html
They are very reasonable and they deliver. One tip is to buy a size bigger than you need so as to allow for a couple of layers just in case it really cold. You can always wear the jacket again and the trousers are about £20-£30. Di.

Hi Rebecca,
I would suggest a fleece type jumper under your jacket too - so your thermal top and bottoms; fleece jumper then snow suit (jacket and trousers). This will make some people a little warm (depending on how hot you run; workrate and outside temp etc) but I would always veer towards slightly too warm rather than slightly too cold - it's easier to loose a layer up the montain than it is to gain one... Most ski jackets are vented so it you get too warm you can unzip the vents under ...

Other than that, thermal socks, a scarf / snood and a beanie....
oh and I would always recommend a helmet

Hi Rebecca..
I've been following your mum's trip report (France, Italy, Spain and Croatia) on Fodor's! Coincidence to come across you here!
Just want to say, have a wonderful time, and do try to get to the forum meet, or at least the White House run by Bobbi and Kas.
I'm missing Borovets this year - it is a magical place in the snow which by all accounts you will be getting next week.
Please, when you get back, can you post a little bit about how you - as an Australian skiing for ...

re: Borovets half board - how much money should we take?
Thanks all for you tips and advice - just got back from Mountain Warehouse and purchased two pairs of ski pants and two sets of thermals for 40 pound!!!Julia - my mum mentioned that - small world!! Will definitely post some feedback on how we found it all!
re: Borovets half board - how much money should we take?
hey alloff to borovets on saturday!! also stayin at the rila - cant wait!!
so a couple of questions...
--if we want to have extra lessons while there, is it possible to buy them locally?
--given that the nighlife looks good, and lunch is expensive, do you think its worth asking the hotel to make us packed lunches and eating out for dinner?
--what are the packed lunches options - are the supermarkets local and worth a trip?
thanks in advance
re: Borovets half board - how much money should we take?
Lunch aint expensive!-= if your up top go to the white house and say your from this forum- Bobby and Kas will give you a good deal!Packed lunches from the hotel-never heard of em!-(ie dont even ask!)
Extra lessons-try booking hunters, located at the Flora hotel- best out there (personally speaking)
Enjoy!
