Borovets

Very Happy The best snow we've ever had!!! We had a fantastic holiday in Borovets. Ski school was fun although the instructor was questionable! We stayed at the Hotel Moura which we would'nt recommend, although the staff were really nice and the location was quite good. The food on the other hand was very strange! The ski hire was another interesting point. If you are wanting a decent pair of boots and skis then i suggest tipping the ski hire staff straight away (cigarettes will do the trick) ...

Other than the odd dissapointment i would recommend anyone to give Borovets a go! Happy holidays!!!

re: Borovets

when did you go???? Just that everyone else is saying how poor the conditions are now and looking at the webcam proves that. It was pretty dire when we left two weeks ago and there hasnt been any fresh dump since? Neutral Confused Exclamation

Same here! We came back 19th March and it was quite icey then with no fresh snow for the previous 4 weeks. J

re: Borovets

yeah, come on Alex, why didn't you tell anyone else where all this snow was, then we could've done some good skiing instead of ice skating down the pistes last week

re: Borovets

Yeah I was there that week and yes I can agree the conditions were fab fab fab. However thinking back on it for the amount of snow they did have conditions in front of the Rila by the end of the week were poor, this is bad (I think) due to two reasons the pist groomers are not the best and also the amount of runs down to the bottom of this side of boro (hope this makes sense) are not plentiful I think the latter reason is the main problem.
