Hi Nigel/Jayne

I hope u had a good time in Pamporovo!! I'm going on Sunday 16th January with a group of friends can't wait! I was in Pamporovo last year but this year we're staying in the hotel Panorama as far as I can remember that hotel is right on the ski slopes. Can you tell me if that is true? Was the snow good? I've been keeping an eye on the snow forecast and although it says there is approx. 35cm of snow I just wanted to know for sure!!

Thanks in advance Nigel/Jayne!!

Mo

re: JUST GOT BACK FROM PAMPS

HI mo
wen we were there the snow was good from 29th dec onwards they were transfering people from boro to pamps as there was no snow in boro
we stayed in hotel bor they said it was 3 * (my arse springs to mind)
the bulgarians will try to rip u off
the slopes are good at the top but wen u get to the bottom its like a skating rink no one did any thing about it all week was a death trap near the lift station 2
we loved the skiing but as for the rest of the holiday we would never go there ...

re: JUST GOT BACK FROM PAMPS

Thanks very much Nigel!
Just as long as the snow and hotel are good then I think we'll be OK. I have everyone warned that its not going to be a 5* hotel and the food isn't great. Thats about all I can do!!

Kind regards
Mo

re: JUST GOT BACK FROM PAMPS

Am going on the 22nd-staying at hotel pamporova which seemingly is a 5* pad? Have never skied before so not sure what to expect? Whats your advice for having making the most of it? I was under the impression that pamporova was the best place to go and learn to ski and that the locals were fine folk? Your comments are welcomed

re: JUST GOT BACK FROM PAMPS

The Hotel Pamporovo is a 5* by Bulgarian standards not buy ours! It is quite a new hotel and is perfectly nice. But if you expect 5 star like you would get here you are in for a shock! Pamporovo is ideal for beginners I myself learnt there. The people are very freindly and no one has ever tried to rip me off in the 4 times I have been. Go with an open mind do not expect everything to be shiny and fantastic and you will have a blast. Very Happy
