Help me... please

Hi Guys, please bear with me, I know it's getting ever so slightly tedious at present, but I have a dilemma, are you ready, sitting comfortably... then I'll begin.

We have 2 kids (2 very excited kids) 12 and 14 yrs, who have heard nothing but exciting, hilarious stories of their mum and dad's previous skiing experiences. We even went on a skiing honey moon many years ago (17 to be precise). Now this is where it gets interesting, this is their first time skiing, we are going on 13th Jan ...
Hi Guys, please bear with me, I know it's getting ever so slightly tedious at present, but I have a dilemma, are you ready, sitting comfortably... then I'll begin.

We have 2 kids (2 very excited kids) 12 and 14 yrs, who have heard nothing but exciting, hilarious stories of their mum and dad's previous skiing experiences. We even went on a skiing honey moon many years ago (17 to be precise). Now this is where it gets interesting, this is their first time skiing, we are going on 13th Jan to Pamps and I really don't know how we can prepare them for the worst, what if there is no snow. Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated, sensible or not, I need a laugh as I'm sure many of us do at the minute, so please put your thinking caps on and help, help, help, HEEEEELLLLLPPP.

Sorry lost it a bit there, cheers guys

re: Help me... please

There is nothing else but ski in the Bulgarian ski resorts. And get drunk with cheap booze but this is not relevant to your children.

Next time go to a decent place like Austria or France where there are a lot more things to do apart from the skiing.

Unfortunately, you get what you pay for...

There will be loads of snow over the next 10 days so don't worry - sounds like Bulgaria will have as good as snowdump as anywhere in the EU - I went to Canada for two weeks in spring with my 11yr old and he much preferred the charm of bansko and it was his choice this year so gues where we are going on the 20th ? - the kids will have a (snow)ball to be honest - so ignore all the drama queens regarding global warming as the snow will come & they'll be too tired to do anything on an evening ...
