Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hello there,

I was wondering if any one might help me. Organising a group of 12 (beginners and intermediates alike) for Jan 3rd to Borovets (staying in the RILA). Was in Bankso last year, fantastic place but impossible to reach from Ireland without going through the UK. Does anyone know how Borovets compares to Bansko.. or if you have general information about Borovets (like when the snow usually starts!!) then please let me know. Panicking that there is no snow coverage as yet.. any reassurance will help!!

Cheers

Snow in Borovets is usually a bit later, should have a good idea around mid december, but even two years ago when the slopes were fit for sheep we still skied every day on a local resort. Borovets is larger than Bansko, more runs/lifts/instructors/mountain restaurants oh and loads of bars/restaurants in the village. You cant help but have a good time , although if your a vegatarian teetotaler its going to be more challenging!!!! Rila Hotel is more lively than the Samakov which is the other top hotel, though both have night clubs that go on till 4am. Most bars stay open whilst your still spending money. Enjoy!!
