re: Borovets/rila first timers

hi. borovets on 2/1. second time skier, first to boro though

re: Borovets/rila first timers

pool is cold (meant to be warm!) not sure on towels, but think they are supplied? (they were in the Samokev) no charge for them either.
Private lessons were about £30 per afternoon last year.

re: Borovets/rila first timers

we are going to rila for 3rd year running on 2nd Jan . Pool not too warm but not too cold either! Towels supplied for free! We got private snowboard lessons for £10 for about 1&1/2hrs from guy on slopes in afternoon who taught in skischool in morning. Boro is great! Rila is great! Snow has arrived can't wait to get there! Christmas is overshadowed! Has there ever been more exclaimation marks in a single email! I dont think so !

re: Borovets/rila first timers

NO the pool is cold
yes they supply towels
no charge for towels
private lessons approximatly 50lv for 1hr
i hope that you have Pre booked your packs

re: Borovets/rila first timers

Thanks for that info, we have booked ski packs but havent booked ski school except for child, we had problems in other resorts with all going into ski school and not starting on same mountain!,so tend to just book occasional lessons rather than trying to be in 2 places at same time.
