Buying a lift pass?

I've always booked ski hire and lift pass pack through Balkan before. Am doing travel and accommodation separately. What's the cheapest way to book a 9 day lift pass? Also, what's the price locally for a decent pair if cheap skis/bindings? Hired past 3 seasons but never been great quality?

Hi Kelvin,

I always use Bulgarian-hotels.com for lift pass £115 for 6 days or £230 for 13 days.
As for skis I recommend you "invest" in a pair of your own as you are at a good level and will definitely notice the difference compared to hire skis.
Won't catch up with you & the crazy crew this year as we're in Banff with S.P, dbut, Jon & Nad and Julia.
Enjoy! & keep dancing.......
