Just back!

Just back!

Just back from 3 days skiing in Pamps.

Snow amazingly good still (and set to stay according to locals) despite the sun.

2 days Pamps, 1 day Chepalare - if you haven't done Chep, you must. Well worth the extra days lift pass (£15 currently) - the blue / green run is long and good fun.

Very quiet in resort (to say the least) but some restaurants stil open (and hotels).

Still time for a cheeky Easter break - the snow, weather and prices won't let you down.

Cheers

IJ

re: Just back!

The prices will let you down,the weather -who knows( if it rains you will deffinitely have it there up or down the slopes no matter, as for the snow -being the lower of the pack in BG it will be shrinking by the day and changing colour too for sure.
As for the liveliness of the place-expect near dead experience .
It will ONLY get a bit busy for the Eastern Ortodox Easter 13-15April with the FREE lift pass Pamporovo is trying to lure some mountain lovers for the end.

lol Jez!
Do you think that if I posted that it was my birthday, someone would pour doom and gloom on my misfortune? Yes, it is your birthday but it only means more wrinkles as you get older! Not to mention the pollution of your myriad candles burning. Your ears will grow, your tits will sag and the grey hairs will continue to gradually erode your natural hair colour. But that is your fault for existing!
Shall I slit my wrists now?

Hmm, my 'glass half full / positive spin / fun to be had still' take on things seems to have hit a brick wall in certain quarters!

Only a true skier can ski on ice, water and slush. Bring it on baby. Banana skiing

SW it is like trying to squeeze milk out of a fly.
It is end of season and the picture is what it is.
Optimism or not picture is in fron of you and facts are there.
Of course you can enjoy any place in any weather when you fix your brain and try not to notice the negatives.
Rain -no problem I am on ski holiday and snow is just different type of water.
No snow-no problem there are drinking holes in there so I will stay in
Few runs-no problem I will sleep longer and go for shorter
Not ...

Not enough people-no problem I will find someone likeminded and we will drink non-stop
I am paying for it-no problem I don't know anywhere else I can go or I haven't bothered to look.
Kind of there is solution for any eventualities isn't it? Smile
