Bulgaria Ski discussion board

For me, and for others judging by some of the replies to this post, there seems to be a very real and definite shift in attitude and passion that once proliferated through this forum. This also appears to be linked to the sudden loss of enthusiasm for skiing and boarding in Bulgaria due to the varying contributing factors.

It is sad really because it feels as though a "golden era" of skiing/boarding in Bulgaria is fading into the history books with the loss of many passionate, Bulgaria loving, forum friendly and passionate winter sport enthusiasts.

This is truly a sad day!

I am sure the opinions of people on here will not influence a country, even if they have a lack of visitors this year (in the winter) they will blame the credit crunch. I am not sure about summer hols prices, service etc etc (and the number of people going to BG) but I have a distinct feeling that this year might be a big tester for the country and Balkan Holidays. If they go bust then there might be trouble. A lot of people used BG as a second holiday, now they might just be having 1. A big factor on here might be the distinct lack of snow over the last couple of years, people are also not willing to take a risk (even for a cheap holiday) incase there is no snow and therefore have moved on.

As Hornster and Tufty-duck mention; BG loosing return visitors, are the ski resorts not going to pick up the likes of me who can no longer afford the better known European resorts and having tried Bansko last two years as a second week winter destination am only too happy to make Bulgaria my only weeks snowboarding holiday of this next season, surely there are a lot of people who know Bulgaira still makes financial sense, if only the cost of lift pass and tuition which is at least half what it costs everywhere else.
