Bulgaria Ski discussion board

have spent a few minutes looking at the inghams website, as well as the crystal one yesterday. Looks like total price of holiday (flights, accomodation, ski pass and food), not including spending money, is probably goint to be 1 1/2 to twice the cost of this years trip to borovets. I'm a fairly advanced skiier whilst my girlfriend is a beginner / intermediate. As i mentioned yesterday, she (and quite a few others) didn't get on too well this year in borovets, partly down to the conditions, pertly down to the instructor(s).

Was thinking of getting her 'up to standard', so to speak, in the uk (probably with Xscape lessons) before we go to Canada / USA next year. That way we can ski together and explore all there is to see.

Tuition in whistler I thought was top quality, 8 ppl to group (which dropped to 5 on 3rd day) teaching levels 1 up to level 5/6 ppl were able to move up or down a level easily at any time, my partner who is advanced learned about deep powder! while I was a novice and cracked parallel turns in three days. prices in resteraunts and shops were a pound to the dollar at approx 2 dollars to the the pound. Canadians were down to earth and witty people always willing to help you.The flight is a bit of a bugger though if you have long legs 9 hrs and pricey but worth it for the huge expanse of lovely snow waiting for you...
