Inghams & Ski Hire

Hi
I am arriving on 31st Jan and staying at the Rila. I have not booked the improver ski pack (£186 as opposed to £160 first-time pack as they say it will have better equipement). But I am not sure for two reasons.

1. Al the other operators are around £140 regardless of beginner or intermediate.

2. What is the quality of the equipment like?

I have two questions if anyone can help.

1. Any idea whether Inghams at Rila use Samokov ski school or Borosports. Seems like the former is ...

2. Any contacts and idea on price to go direct to Samokov?

Thanks

It is generally a lot cheaper to book through your tour operator than in resort. Very Happy Very Happy

Usually all Rila guests use Borosport (i think!)

I've stayed at the Rila for the last 2 years and had Borosport instructors and they have been great. If you do have a problem with your instructor point it out and ask to change groups.... easy!

I'm out with my family on the 31st too and booked with Borosport, cant wait. see you there!

Rakesh,
1) You will be with Borosport Ski School, with one of the ski depots in or around the Rila 4 your equipment.

2) Ski School-Borosport have some great instructors, I've just done mi third yr. Be outside and togged up ready 2 go nice and early. The 2 instructors I have had are Ceko and Ivan, both superb.

As for the price differance in packs, the gear is all the same, I think they are trying to attract beginners with a cheap price. Inghams charge more for their packs, but less ...

Hope u have a good time.
