Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Wow, great board -- seems like there's a cool community over there.

So I'm a pretty serious skier from the west coast of the US, former local, now a grad student in England, and looking at places to do a trip this winter. Could anyone give me a (fairly) objective take on skiing in Bulgaria? Can general travel and skiing in particular actually be done for cheaper than in other places in Europe? What kind of costs for travel, passes, and accommodation are available for a student budget? And, is there decent advanced terrain? Recommended resorts, etc?

Any info appreciated -- cheers!

best resort would be bansko, still limited though for advanced only 1 black run. can get good deals if two adults are going with tour ops, we have paid £250 B and B plus flights and transfers. Food last time we were there was relatively cheap. If you book independently, you can get cheap accomodations, but best if you have 3 or 4 to share, flights variy last time we went booked on the Thurs flew on Sat, fligths were£49 return plus taxes worked out wbout £85, transfer was around £100 would take upto 3 people, appartment that would sleep 3 easily £200.

Lift passes are around £100, dont know the cost of equipment hire, have a look on bansko ski will give you some ideas,

also on resorts pamps has great night life but limited slopes. Cant coment on borovets never been
