Does anyone know if you can go Heli Skiing in Borovets? if so any idea how much it costs?

Thinking they could fly me someone where there is snow!

re: Heli Skiing

i'm about to get on a helicopter in an hour but dont think the pilot wwill let me ski from it as im in the middle of the north sea on an oil rig be some wwater ski ride though lol

re: Heli Skiing

Heli skiing is available in Borovets.
You need a minimum of 8 people.
They are not operating at the moment as there is not enough snow to complete the run.Heli skiing takes place away from the resort heading more towards the West.
Cost 3OO.OOBGN per person.

re: Heli Skiing

when are you going? my partner has been looking into that too.

re: Heli Skiing

When I went in 99 our instructor (Mario incase he still works there) asked us if we wanted to do it. As this was only our second week on boards we said no. Had been aiming to do it at Bansko start of Feb, doesn't look too likley now though!

re: Heli Skiing

We have been looking at this over towards Goverdartsi, the trouble is you cant just get dumped in the middle of nowhere, you need an able and experienced instructor, you need good comms, and you have a choice of copter, an older small Mil, about 1300e per hour or a Bell at about twice the cost. Personnaly unless youve done it before, i wouldnt bother thinking about it.

re: Heli Skiing

Cheers Fiona!

Im going on 27th Jan so hope it snows enough!!!

re: Heli Skiing

Ive not done it before but my friend has (former commando) so I would hope he knows what he's doing!

Hopefully it will snow lots and there wont be the need to do it to find good snow.

Price isnt so bad between a few of us!

Cheers
