You will have to get her private lessons as they do not let them in ski school at that age Mike. She will be put in Kindergarten otherwise.which I take it you dont want?

A very good friend of mine is a ski instructor. Next time i talk to her i`ll ask what she recommends if u want me to. Maybe your daughter to go to kindergarden with just an hour or so private tution per day. I only just spoke with my friend before but will call her maybe over the weekend

Mike also it might be worth asking around in resort when you arrive to see if anyone can help.

My kids learned to ski in Pamporovo four years ago. One of them has since been back on two school trips and has had a ball every time. The ski instruction standards in Bulgaria are renowned for being the best in Europe although you will always find people who look down on the place as a whole.
In my experience the instructors were uniformly excellent with small children and I think it is the best place to take kids to learn.
From memory there is also a public swimming pool in the centre ...

Hi Jue
Slow to get back to you.. Sorry. Yes, I only need lessons for Molly who's going to be 4 in April ( we're going on 30 Dec)and I don't think that she will be allowed into even the Kintergarden Class till she is 4!! She is a flyer generaly and won't have a problem if I get her private one on one lessons. I don't care what it costs as long as it can be done.... I'm pretty advanced myself but wouldn't have a clue where to start on the teaching front! The other little guy is only 2 so he ...

I'm pretty advanced myself but wouldn't have a clue where to start on the teaching front! The other little guy is only 2 so he can stay on the ground with his mom while me and Moll's have a hot one up top!!!!!!
We're staying in the Murgavets. We were in Pamporovo bout 10 years ago and it was so bad it wasn't even funny but I believe things have dramaticly improved since. The kids are soooooo looking forward to it that Santy has been forgotten about in our house!
Thanks again Jue for the help.
Mike Very Happy
