Bulgaria Ski discussion board

In Jan whilst taking a break with a large brandy off Yastrebets 2, a ski instructor told me that I needed another one to perfect my left turn as the current brandy only worked for the right. I took his advice and guess what, perfect left turns the rest of the day! Definitely a good idea to have a little drink to relax! Haven't ever seen a drunk and disorderly skier/boarded but have seen plenty with hangovers. They usually appear around midday for an hour or so then slope off back to bed! More room on the piste for me!

im with you this one and have said so on another thread..i was ridiculed, told to get a life and told i was talking shite.. and ive had experience of this, to cut a long story short, my daugher was wiped out by a skiier who had been on a bender the night before, my daughter spend a good while in hospital etc etc he he wasnt sparko at the time i would put him that way...his insurance was void because he was considered over the limit. how did the insurance company find out he was still drunk?? a nurse at the hospital mentioned on the medical report that he smelled of booze.. then from the blood samples taken he was considered well over the limit..
im not saying thats gonna happen every time but knowing insurance companies..they will try anything and sieze on anything yuo avoid paying out on a policy.. i still think its a grey area but a 0.33 google search reaveals...

Most people dont know what their insurance covers, I agree with the problem as well for people who have had a skin full the night before and then ski are still drunk, these people are prob the same ones that do it and drive in the morning!!!

Insurance is always a grey area, but on a sun holiday you usually arnt covered for extreme sports, extreme sports are banana rides, hiring scotters (I dont mean the insurance for the scotter I mean if you have an accident and have to be flown home), jetskis and a lot of other things that you dont even think are extreme. if you have had a drink you wont be covered, medical teams will record it they do in this country as well.

As for having another drink to make your turns better what a stupid bit of advice, ski instructors should know better!!!

I wonder how many of the 'its ok to drink and ski' people drink and drive, don't wear a seat belt, and use a mobile whilst driving. This is proving to be one of the worst seasons for ski and board deaths, yet some people still think they know better. I've never understood why anyone would pay shed load of money to go on a ski/board holiday, then drink so much they can't get up to do what they came for in the first place. I doubt that any drunk driver intended to kill anybody, same applies to us when we're on the piste. please don't be reckless with other people's lives.
