First time in Borovets

Hi all,

Please can someone give me some advise/tips. We are going to Borovets 19th feb and I cannot get my 4 year old son into ski school(fully booked). I would like to find out if anyone knows a good instructor for children and can I book it while I'm ther (half term so may be busy) for private lessons, and do I needto book equipment separately?
Thanks
Floreen

Have you booked with a tour company like Inghams or Crystal?

Sorry I hit send too early. One of the problems this season is that Inghams have stopped their Snowstar kids club and I guess that that has put a bit of a strain on Borosports. Unless you can book something thorough your travel company I think that you should try to get things sorted in advance. You are arriving on probably the busiest Saturday of the season and the Sunday morning will be manic to say the least especially to be trying to sort out safe and decent care for a child. I don't ...

I don't know about Hunters but I know that snowmasters do/have offered snow school for kids. They are based near the Gondola. I do not know if they are any good or not www.snowmasters-bg.com
I have a four year old but have been lucky as he is booked in with Borosports.
Good luck and maybe see you out there, arriving same day.

I don't know which hotel you are staying in but i'd make demands of Inghams and insist that they make arrangements for your child. Even if you are not staying in the Samokov hotel, ask Ingams to try booking that for you and vice versa if you are staying there ask them to book with Borosports. As I see it their brochure offers the Snowstar kids club so they need to sort something.

I think Thomson still have availbility in the ski school they use. Try calling their ski booking dept and see if you can just book a ski school pack?

Cool

Don't know if you are sorted through your tour operator but Hunters have been very helpful with us planning ski-school for our 5 year old.
