Try the snowshack. We had a group of kids who tried their taster session and some were under 13.

just remembered. There was something to do with shoe sizes. couldnt if snowshack didn't have small enough shoes to fit them.Not a prob with our lot as they all had big feet.I think I remember taster sessions were £20.but the boys gave great tuition to our group.

we are in the same situation,we have an 8 year old boy explored every avenue regaring equipment and tuition,we cant find the exact reason why under 13 s cant hire or get tuition via bulgaria ski,but like one of your previous replies we were told you can get private tuition from the snowshack or from other personal tutors,but you will have to find your own equipment,we got a board and bindings 116 cm board for £60 & boots size 1 for £18 all in as new condition from E-BAY plus you can always ...

re: Can kids go snowboarding at pamps?

Hi All, just to clarify a couple of things, rental gear is available from us, smallest size boot is approx No 3. Boards from 110 cm long. These are available in limited numbers. We offer a snowboard taster - board, boots, bindings and 2 hour lesson all in for 15 pounds. Just see Maria the BulgariaSki rep in Pamporovo or call into the Snowshack.

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve

Son takes size 7 so should be alright for boots. He is booked in for full learn to ski pack with Balkan, do they get their stuff from you as well?
Otherwise for boarding do we need to book well in advance and if he wants more after 2 hours, which I am sure he will, how much is it after that and we may have to ditch the ski lessons
