Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi all,
I have just returned from Tignes had fantastic time the snow was really good and well mentained, the lift system was superb the longest i waited was about 3 mins!!
I read on this site before i went that the prices for food and drink on the mountain are very similar to those in Bulgaria, i can confirm that that is complete rubbish the prices are double for example 2 pizzas £18, 3 hot dogs 2 beers and 1 coke £30 and the sevice wasn't great far from it, so we used the super market and bakers and took a packed lunch up the mountain wich was fine for us we will definately return there for the vast area of pistes and good snow and for this reason only.
I have been to Pamps this season in january so my thoughts are if you want a good all round holiday for example reasonable snow, reasonably priced food, drink and good fun then Bulgaria is a good option,
If you want to lap up miles of pistes with great facilities then Bulgaria is not for you.
I will be returning to the both resorts next year Pamps for another great time and to meet up with some friends we made there, and Tignes for some serious boarding.
Hope some of you find this usefull
Chris

Know someone who went to Val desaire this year and a weeks spending money was £1k..... food & drink only that was eating out 3 times a day and not drinking as much as you would have thought.

Id suggest that if anyone is finding Bulgaria expensive really you shouldnt be going on holidays especially with the credit crunch. it is cheap but if your finding it pricy then maybe one skiing holiday every other year is in order or one year just stay at home to save up/take a second job on your annual leave which will not be used for vacations.

Sorry for being patronising but fact is it is cheap - ive been there a number of times over the years (3 total) and prices have not jumped they have stayed the same or thereabouts.

Don't think people have been saying how expensive bulgaria is, just how the prices have been hiked up over the last two years. Must admit have laughed when people say france is as cheap as bulgaria, no way, My friend got back from flaine on sunday, ate out every night two adults, one child and never saw any change out of £60. Personally though I would rather have a great ski area and take a packed lunch and cook at night, but I go to ski, Bulagria is a grrat place if you are a novice skier but the runs are limited and I possibly wont be going back for that rason and that reason only.
