Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi emjay,

Not surprising really if a competitor is stopped from qualifying cos a load of wannabies have gouged great grooves in all the lines round the poles. I for one am not taking on the wraith of the Bulgarian army, even if we are the invasion !!
We were there last year and the juniors were competing, only saw the practice runs, the weather closed in and was on the cuss between rain and snow, but those guys were flying past us on Yastrebets, you would hear them coming behind you and see them for about a second as they shot past and they just disappeared into the cloud. ( a bit scary)

theres nothing worse than someone 'having a go' when they see a slalomor gs course set up, firstly if its slalom and one of the poles hits you you will know about it!! secondly its dangerous to the trainees on the slope thirdly as said before it f***s up the line. Usually when the comps are on they race on yast 2 or 3 and have the other one to practice on, it doesnt usually impact much and not even for the whole day, when the races are on 3 why not take a break at the Yastrebets Hotel and watch some of the racing it can get quite addictive!!!

My comment was meant to be taken as tongue in cheek guys, l know there hasn't been much snow yet but lighten up. Maybe I should have employed a :-)

Although on one of your points Fraser about 10 years ago some poles had been left on Marky 1 and I was skiing with some people out of the Samokov hotel. The Instructor (known to you) had suggested 'having a go' at them. Unfortunately the bloke in front of me, Keith I think unfortunately took out two of the poles with his face, one broken nose and some reconstructive surgery on his teeth along with some associated body bruising later he made a full recovery. As it happens, I think that you Fraser was the first on the scene and took the injured man to the little hut that used to be on the corner and got him a coffee, no idea how he managed a coffee. I never did get to give those poles a go.
