Bulgaria Ski discussion board

My gf and I will be departing Saturday afternoon and arriving late in the night. First time in Borovets and first time Snowboarding so really looking forward to it. Been little worried about the poor conditions that everyone is talking about at the moment. If any of you guys are out there hopefully see you out on the slopes or in Ka's and Bobbys bar (as it seems to be the place to go). Wondering if any of you would have any last minute tips for things for us to do first when we get there like best times to hit the slopes on the first morning or certain places that we should definitely make sure we go to. Glad that some of you have said there is satellite tv to watch the football....cant bear the thought of missing Swansea play!

As a life-long standing sideways couple, me and my partner Tracey would echo everything said by steve.g and stu83. Musala is a top run when conditions are right and taken at a fair lick. However you have to be a confident rider to get the best out of it. It's narrow in parts, some flat sections, can get busy and choked at certain points and on the lower bit, through the trees, there's not a lot of room to manoeuvre.
Get your confidence up on the other slopes, try some straight-lining and quick turns and then definitely give Musala a go.
Last Jan/Feb the snow was epic and this was probably one of the highlights of my holiday. Our group of 6 guys and 4 girls all steaming down Musala line astern was truly an awesome shred memory. I am hoping for the same again this year. Go for it and most of all, enjoy it

Thanks for all the help guys, very much appreciated . Manc Tom no chance of me supporting United...Swansea all the way, got to support your local team

I've been skiiing a couple of times to Boston North America when I was a teenager and really enjoyed it but wanted to try the old snowboarding out and have to admit that after fast track lessons in the snowdome in UK I was addicted. Can pretty much do the basic turns and not turn into a human avalanche so no lessons for me when I get there fortunately, just get cracking on the slopes Definitely going to take all the advice though with the different slopes and runs though. Ashleigh hopefully we'll bump into both you and your bf...if not when I'm tumbling down the slopes then probably in Kas and Bobbys. Chris thanks will definitely try and brave the hangovers and get out nice and early...I'm more of a Jack Daniels and Coke man myself but partial to the old beer ...thanks Cheryl think I'll give it at least a couple of days before I attempt the Musala pathway...try and find my snow feet first Gondola station sounds like a good shout Chris and then as you say Rickers I will give the Musala a try Thanks for all the help guys, hopefully bump into a couple of you if your out there next week.
