Hi Dona- We are going to Borovets not Pamps, which is a shame.
But also looking forward to good snow.
Last year our ski school consisted of our instructor continually just saying, FOLLOW ME. We had a good laugh about it, but it didn't get us anywhere.
I then paid for 1on1 tuition for a day through our rep ,asking for someone who could speak a liitle more English. Guess what, he couldn't speak any and I didn't learn anything. Olly then took me up on the slopes one day and that helped ...

Booked with Fiona this year, so should be better.
My daughter Ginger Pop is dyslexic like my son, so please excuse their spelling!!!! But at least they don't worry too much about it and it doesn't stop them.

re: Hello
Hope you have a fab time anyhow ..... instructors in pamps seem to speak pretty good english maybe you have just been unlucky.re: Hello
Hopefully yes! looking forward to it anyway, even if it takes me all day to get down the slope.
re: Hello
Last year my daughters ribbed me because they said I was the only person who could go uphill instead of down hill(turn and point skis uphill to slow down - do it well enough and you go up hill!!!)3rd year this year
also going on 16th
BUT have been on dry slope so tecnique improved but dont know how brave I will be on a real slope! Only done greens and blues so far!
Sounds like we will get on well!
re: Hello
Hi Glynis- you sound like a professional up to me!We might bump into each other on the slopes, just look for the women not really moving almost at a stand still.
Before I went last year we went to the Snowdome a lot and I thought I was doing well with my technique, until I reached the slopes. I do think the bad snow made a difference, as everywhere was so slippery and frightening. hopefully snow will be brill this year and then we might feel completely different.
re: Hello
But... the reeeeaaaaalllly slow person on the Pamps slopes that week might be me! I am also VERY good at snowplough, never quite managed to get the back of the skis to meet up though!! The brandy chocolates sound like a fab idea!re: Hello
Yes I agree, I will definately have to try that one! Sounds like there is quite a few of us that have the snowplough as our best technique
re: Hello
Hey meggyntomQueen of the snowplough is going to boro but I will be in pamps will look out for you.

re: Hello
I too skiied last year at Borovets and came to the conclusion that ice and mud STINK. Went January 6th this year and found it great to ski on snow!I find 1-1 great fun, especially as you can come down behind the instructor at great speeds and in control, with the instructor's legs taking the flack!! Ask for Georgi Rangelov - he is stronger than he looks, has a great sense of humour, excellent English and will get you skiing.
