Hi peeps
I have been asked to organise a group ski/snowboarding holiday for Feb half term 2008.
Because of the time of year (school hols) and we are on a budget i was thinking of Bulgaria.
There will be 15 of us going at all different levels and ages.
I was considering Borovets as it seems to have something to please everyone. However, i am a little concerned about the lack of snow last season, Is this normal?
If so can anyone recommend anywhere else?
Any advice would be ...

re: Group holiday
Hi Blink,There appeared to be a lack of snow over the entire of Europe, still...we were skiing in Borovets the season just been on the 22nd December and overall (including the mid term break) we had good snow coverage all season

re: Group holiday
If you have many boarders you may find Bansko the better bet as there are more chairlifts to the better slopes and not so many drags which my son as a boarder hates.db
re: Group holiday
oih bdut,Bansko in my experience is one of the worst places to snowboard. (especally in Feb) You get these old guys who think they can hammer down they slopes with no though for others.
are you having a good summer
s.p.
re: Group holiday
Excellent now I know you got the rain as well. Haven't got everything back for Canada yet but think the insurance will be with AXA. Applied for leg room but they could not confirm as we will be going on a commercial flight and it takes a while. Have you seen the skidvd webcam in boro its ace.Have you heard any more from Karl on wether they are going to Bansko same time as us. Keep those spears sharp.db
re: Group holiday
hi db.have heard from Nicola & Graham they are coming and as far as I know Carl, Paul & Garry are coming as well.
Oh and remember Judith( bbc) Borovets 2 years ago she organised a pee up in Cristos with : bulgariaski : well she is in the same week.
Iwill text carl this evening when I in work.
s.p.
Am off to Medeara in 6weeks then roll on winter.
re: Group holiday
AS one of the old guys it will be good that a few of yhe young ones will be there to slow things down except for Karl of course. Mind you they may have been practising. At least the beer will flow well with that lot there. Bring your hollow legs.DB
re: Group holiday
Fiona, the lack of snow in Europe was only until the end of Dec.After that there was plenty and even more that normal to the resorts with height of 1800m above sea level. Please state only facts not hearsay.re: Group holiday

im a boarder and have been to borovets a number of times over the years, always 1st or 2nd week of march..its cheap an very cheerful!! and theres more than enough ...
