Do fat people ski?

Can anyone tell me if you see 'large people' on the slopes in Borovets. We

The answer to that is definately...YES Exclamation

My son is 22+st and did great. He was not hassled by our instructor to get himself up, he just took his skis off and put them back on. I'm over weight and was constantly told I HAD to get up on my own.

We all ...
