Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Flying of to Borovets on Sat 28th. I believe that we arrive at the Hotel Olymp at 10.00 pm and Ski school starts on Sunday morning at 10.00 - Does anyone know if this is correct or will it start Monday ? Also if it does start at 10.00 does that give you time to get your skis and boots ?

BTW- We paid £90 in advance for Ski school, lift pass and ski and boot hire - Bargain I think !

We are a mixed party of intermediates and advanced skiers and look forwards to maybe catching up with some of you dudes out there.

PS - We are taking our money ready changed, anyone like to speculate how much in sterling we need for a week of drinking and a few meals out per perspn. We are 1/2 board so we will (hopefully) not need to eat out too much.

Ski school starts on Sunday. You will probably have a meeting with your Rep and there is no real time for start or finish - usually between 9.30/10am. Ski 2 hours and stop about 1 hour for lunch before a further 2 hours in the afternoon. All very flexible. Sunday morning is very chaotic and you will get an instructor even if you don't turn up until later so don't panic.

We were staying B&B at the Alpin and spent about £400 for the week - all in for 4 of us. 2 adults and 2 children. Lunch and evening meal each day - nothing over the top and several drinks before retiring Not excessive and deep into the night but hope this gives you an idea!

Borovets is amazing but a really really bad move changing money the pound sterling rate is the best out there you get so much for your money it was about 2.470 which is excellent. You'll love it!!! Ski school starts on sunday and if your with neilson they'll take you down early so you have enough time in the ski depoot but beware Chris dont drink to much ski school tends to meet early!!! Go to franco's and tell Tommy Mcgreedy at the bar you got recommended by his friend from England 2 weeks ago Good luck!!
