Dry Slopes

Just come back from an hour of Dry Slope Ski FUN!!! (exept for the borders - i messed up - only when i got there i found out it was ramp & rail night)

I have'nt skied fro 4ish years due to snapping my knee playing rugby - and boy could i tell!!!

After a few runs, i did kind of get back into it, and realised how much i hate dry slope compared to the real thing!!

i think a few more hour sessions and i will feel ready for the slopes in Borovets on Jan 27th. I did also enjoy my GF ...

Can anyone tell me from experience how the beginers/intermediates are graded on the first ski lesson out in Borovets?

re: Dry Slopes

dont know about borovets but usually ask if you can ski at all if you can give a small trial to see how good you arethen put you in a class according to your skill level.

re: Dry Slopes

After collecting our skis/boots/poles at the Boro Gondola station last year, we were asked by a Borosport chap what our experience was. We told him none on snow, but had been to the dry slope 4 times and could snow plough reasonably well.

He then put us into a group of people who had one weeks previous ski experience, allocated us an instructor and off we went.

No test at all!!!!!

re: Dry Slopes

Thanks for the info folks, will be a case of wait and see then i suppose!!!

Legs are aching a bit today from last night - so i think some more practice is needed so i can cope with a week on the piste!!! Better book in to 2 spinning sessions rather than one a week!!!
