The lifts at Aleko on Vitosha should be opened on December 8th, A one-day ski pass at Bulgaria’s biggest winter resort Bansko will be the same price as in 2006, 50 leva for adults and 30 leva for children. A two-day pass will be 95 and 53 leva, respectively, a six-day pass 280 and 155 leva, respectively, and the season pass will be 1340 for adults and 800 leva for children. Night skiing will cost 14 and 10 leva, respectively, for one night, while the price of a one-way gondola lift ticket is 8 leva. The manager of the resort concessionaire Yulen Ivan Obreykov said that Bansko had put three million leva into maintenance of the ski slopes in preparation for the new season. Bansko currently has a total of 70km of ski slopes.
A one-day pass at Rila’s primary resort of Borovets will cost 33 leva during the weekends and 55 leva during weekdays, while a pass only for the slopes Yastrebets 1, 2 and 3 will be 22 leva. Yastrebets slopes have been also re-conditioned and the ski zone there has been maintained and expanded.
In Pamporovo there are 25km of ski slopes and this year there will not be any new routes. However, the resort’s bed capacity is expected to grow by about 50 per cent from 4000 beds in 2006 to 6000. A one-day pass for the resort costs 49 leva for adults and 28 for children. A two-days pass is 95 and 51 leva, a six-day pass costs 276 and 152 leva, and a season pass is 1307 and 795 leva, respectively.

re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
h-m-mwhat do you think about the prices?fare?justified?good?
re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
Just confirmed today (Sat 08th Dec) a season pass for Borovets is 1430.00 leva....not happy 
My thought on the season pass is a total rip....even at last yrs price at 1300.00 leva.
Who buys a season pass???......ski instructors......local Bulgarians......and people who work in the resort.
To me, Borosport are just crap...g on there own people.
Greedy so and so's!!!.
The increase in day passes....well the least they could do is have all chairlifts, button lifts etc open or discount ...

The increase in day passes....well the least they could do is have all chairlifts, button lifts etc open or discount the day pass price to compensate runs that are not open....and half the time they cant be bothered opening Markujik 3 for example because they are just too lazy....but all of a sudden it is open for the weekend!.
Borosport....pull your finger out.
Thats my moan over

re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
Hey Fiona, don't Borosport have a buy-early discount like they do in Bansko? For instance, my season pass in Bansko cost me 958lv as I purchased before 31st Dec...re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
Hi Nadia,Yes I know there are discounts for season passes for Bansko.....like early birds etc....but I'm afraid not for Borovets!.
Last yr in Boro....workers went on strike as they were going to ask 2600.00 leva for a season pass....what a joke that was!.

re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
even the daily passes are a rip.re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
@ Mikey (again) its all relative, an hour on the plastic over in uk costs aropund £17, so i guess a day on snow for the same price is value for money.ps the instructors in the big schools dont buy their passes , the school does
re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
we are not talking plastic here are we or doing skiing on the teely with the PC game?it is the real snow we want and only the big schools get theit lift passes.and what about everybody who is in the resort all the time or regulars are they not desirables.Get real and stop deffending the undeffendable m8.re: Details on Opening Days and Lift Prices
I can assure you that ski instructors for Borosport do not buy their own season lift pass. Local Bulgarians have no need for a season lift pass, they work all week and ski at the weekends, so buy day tickets. People who work in the resort work, so they do not ski every day.
The only people that buy season lift passes are ex-pats such as Fiona! Hence Borosports decision to increase the prices.
