Can't pre-book under 8 in Ski School ?

Can someone explain why we can't book our under 8 kid into Ski School like the older kids and adults ?

And are the chances of hireing a qualified personal ski instructor (to keep our group together) any good ?

Thanks in advance.

re: Can't pre-book under 8 in Ski School ?

To hire a personal ski instructor you will probably have to wait until you get there and then have a word with the local ski school, discuss the level of instruction required and then agree a price and they will asign you a personal instructor. Failing that and if you are all more of less at the same level, there is no reason why they can't put you in the same group anyway along with other people.

Hi Andy, went to Boro last year - same problem, could get our 8yr old in ski school but wouldn't pre-book our 7yr old. We went with Thomsons and the rep sorted it out at the resort (wouldn't or couldn't at this end)! The ski instructors will take them from 6 but something to do with insurance is why the tour operators won't book in advance!. Please email if you want any advice - this was certainly an advanced headache for us!!!!! Regards. Yvette

Thanks for all the help.

It's Pamporovo ( The Insider asked ).

Feeling a bit more relaxed now.

Just need some more of the white stuff ( snow ).
