Hello all,
I'm an aussie currently living in London and going to Borovets to ski for a week over NYE with my gf.
We've arranged to hire skis and boots, but dont have any ski clothes.
I wont be skiing much over the next few years i think (hard to get to the snow in Australia!), so dont need awesome gear. Cheaper is more preferable.
So my question is, can i buy (or hire?) ski clothing in Borovets somewhere? If so, is it good quality, and is it cheaper than in London? Or should i shop for it in the UK before i head over there?
My gf will need the same as well..
hey mate we are heading there in 3 days. we are from oz,wherebouts u from? and we are living in london too. go to tk max . its all there. andits cheap.
For what you want shop around and barter in Boro you can equip yourself real well.Bought my gear there 6 years ago and like you thought would not be going much and I'm not into designer labels so bought cheap.Going again this year still in same so this is its seventh year of use.
You can buy there, but have you tried certain very popular auction websites in the uk? (email me if you don't know who i mean!!) When i first went i got most of my stuff from that website, and mostly it was brand new or worn once and excellent condition. It's only now i go 2 or 3 times a year that i've invested in brand new stuff (that i'll probably rip as soon as i wear it!!).
Also heard that TK Max do good and reasonably priced ski gear.
will probably buy all my gear there. not really interested in brandnames, so will just get the best quality stuff thats not too dear. Would try online UK auctions but would really rather try this stuff on before i buy, so want to buy from a shop in person.
cya on the slopes guys!
p.s. to the aussie poster: me and gf are from sydney, been working in london 6 months now. going to borovets 30th of dec for a week. I think we're meeting some other posters on ...
