don't know about any death but saw quite a few broken bones while i wa sthere this week, but i should imagine it's down to the individuals themselves not being in control of their skis or boards. the marking was abismal when i got there, nearly went down a black on my first day! but they put up some signs on wednesday, sadly not in english but they do have colours on them so unless you are colour blind you will be fine!!:-)
I just got back from Borovets and like many others, week 14th to the 24th, managed to break a leg into the bagain. Slopes can become vey iced up in the afternoons and one needs to take care.I was told by a cafe owner that there was TWO people Killed in a ski-ing accident the week before I went out there.
