Hi, as the subject heading states, it's been 13 yrs since last in Borovets when in 91 it was post the !st Gulf war and the fall out from the oilwells burning caused the snow to turn grey.
It was our 3rd trip there and as ever the beer was cheap 10p pint!! great to see it has not gone daft. Soup, roll, chicken chips & a beer £1.60p as I remember. Snow was always kind by showing up when required.

Anyway after skiing abit in France & Italy I have eventually managed to loose the snobby people who wouldn't touch Bulgaria with a barge pole!! and I hope things haven't changed much (looking at the decor in the Breza/Mura/Ela they have'nt).

A few questions I need answering.
A. Can I buy ski equipment there and is as cheap as it was, how much?
B. Does Peter/Petrenov (skiid in the olympic team) still have a beer shack opposite the Gondola(his son used to give us ski lessons, was a member of national team)?
C. Can the "wall" still be used even though the one man is shut?

Thanks
JC
