Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi, anyone one had experience of the junior ski tuition offered in Pamps. I'm looking to book for 2007 with my "nearly" 7 year old son who has been to ski school in Austria this year (when only 5). Looking at some of the earlier posts the ages allowed in the schools in Bulgaria seems to vary. My tour operator (Panorama) is checking with the resort but they indicated 6-13 on the phone. My elder son will be 11 but only has only had the same "learning time" and so is much the same ability and I would like them to ski together.
Any personal experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks.

most 7 year old finds it hard to keep up in class, the classes with the tour operators can be up to 14 people and sometimes maybe more - the younger the pupil is the more time they need with the instructor.
depends on your 7 year olds ability.
you can get private tuition for around 30 lev an hour, I do have a good contact for Pamps for private tuition or you can go to the ski shop next to Snow Shack and organise it with them.
if you would like my contact let me know.
you will be able to get him in the normal class with your operator - maybe a good idea to get him the package with them and see how he goes on the first few days and if its a problem organise private tuition.

My 7 year old joined in the Ski school at Pamps and loved it. She had 15 hours on the dry slope first, so she wasn't a novice. The only stipulation that the ski school put on us was that she wasn't allowed on the lifts without me, so I had to go in the same class as her. Not too much of a problem since I am only slightly better than her.

I understand that under 8's are not allowed on the lifts without an adult even if they are not in ski school. The 3 man one is a bit too high for them to sit down on. They have to hitch themselves up onto it, which is tricky when you are holding poles.

Hope that you have a good holiday.
