re: Considering Cancelling!!

100% cant change it or cancel, therefore, I am stuck!!
CHOKED!! I have wasted my money by the looks of things.
Why were you wishing to go home though?

re: Considering Cancelling!!

We were looking forward to getting home because I was there with my wife & daughter to ski! That is what we were all looking forward to.
Not go walking or see the sights of Samakov or a monastry.
My daughter is 14 & certainly does not want to spend hours & hours in a pub (neither do I or my wife come to that - we like a drink but are not big drinkers!)
The bottom line is that a skiing holiday is
primarily about skiing. The apres ski is important too. But a that is just it ...

re: Considering Cancelling!!

Benn If you are a beginner you may be OK, The nursery slops tend to be alright and if you get snow towards the end of the week it will be a bonus. In my case we were going on the 15th not much chance of things changing that much. plus we only had Easyjet flights booked will just let them go.

re: Considering Cancelling!!

Benn, I know how you feel, go through the same thing every year and Bansko in 2007 and Borovets in 2009 were particularly bad for snow cover.

Thing is though, we still boarded every day. There are green and blue runs up the top too, and actually, looking at the webcams, the cover looks reasonable. It'll be fine, honest.

re: Considering Cancelling!!

Benn, never been to Borovets and not skied, ok so sometimes its a bit rough, but the whole point is, be positive, and youll be surprised how much snow is actually out there, you may even come to your senses and ski instead of board Wink, seriously, believe and you will find.........youll get a week of boarding just relax!!! Booze Booze
