Hi all, a lively discussion board, any tips for a first timer at Borovetts?A few questions
Friendly people?
Skiing for a relatively inexperienced skier?

1. The people are very friendly, especially when spending money in their establishments!2. You will find the skiing as challenging as you wish, lots of greens and blues.
3. Exchange rate is about 2.6-2.7 to £, most instructors waiters etc will change for a better rate that the change booths, never change your money with a stranger in the street. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF.
4. Any more questions, just ask!

ive just come back from borrovets its really good.every1 is really friendly
there are loads of begginner classes so you dont need to worry about being the only 1. after a week you will be on the top of the mountain, trust me.
the best places to go out to are 'franko's pizza' its excelent, the manager tommy mcgreedy is really cool and gives out free drinks sometimes. and 'the blu' is a good place to go 2.
hope u have a nice time, i did
