have had 2 private lessons with interski and they were brilliant. skis excellent and they really know their stuff. all the tourists in there seemed happy at end of day so would recommend. they run group lessons and i think the biggest size is 6. compared with 20 in some we saw today. can't compare really.
Superb report on what must have been a horrifying experience. The fact that you could give such a well balanced objective account on the hotel etc does you great credit.

I found their instruction first class but the conditions that year were brilliant. There is nothing worse than trying to learn to ski on ice. It is a frightening, ...
Superb report on what must have been a horrifying experience. The fact that you could give such a well balanced objective account on the hotel etc does you great credit. My children all learned to ski in Pamporovo 5 years ago and are going back with me this weekend after having been other places with their schools in recent years. I found their instruction first class but the conditions that year were brilliant. There is nothing worse than trying to learn to ski on ice. It is a frightening, off putting experience which is ten times harder than if there is good snow.

I have since found out that my ski's should reach up to my nose roughly. The skis I was given to wear last year was at least 6" longer that my full height. Our instructor although ...

Our instructor although quite good was a bit grumpy and not very patient with the people that found it a bit more difficult. Glad your son is ok too.
We had a good experience in pamps last year as 1st time beginners but the snow conditions were excellent as was our instructor who also adjusted all our boot settings
