Relax, cracking snow in Borovets. Maybe a little foggy but by 5 local the lifts are closed - ergo no-one skiing

Just come home from Borovets today. Saturdays are change over days so that's why there aren't that many skiing. Snow was good, although the first day the slopes were closed due to lack of snow.

Have fun!

Just got back from Boro last night, Snow is great , last Sunday BoroSports told holiday reps not to issue ski passes, BUT BUT BUT lifts were open , you could buy a day pass - THIS IS THEFT.

Prices (due to value of £ and other factors) are SKY high expect to pay £30 (60lev) for 2 pizza 3 drinks and chicken with chips.

If taking your own skis then keep an eye out for the thieves. DO NOT BUY SECOND HAND at the resort as all you are doing is encouraging the trade.

Having said that the skiing is good, try the gren run from the top of the gondola, you will not be disapointed, even if you think you are better than that.
