Just back from Boarding in Pamps

Just back from a weeks boarding in Pamps. As mentioned by others snow is getting thin on the ground but the mountain remains open and our instructor confirmed that they were not closing the ski school for this week.

For anyone doing board lessons our instructor Kostas was great, kept our spirits up even when faced with a slope full of rocks & grass! We did board everyday but my tip if your going is get Bum, Knee and Wrist pads as a priority!

The new snow wasnt enough to make a difference as they need approx 20-30cm to cover the rocks, shrubs etc.

Our hotel the Orlovetz was excellent and the links throught to Perelek are great as you dont have to get wrapped up in the evening to hit most of the bars.

I agree with outher comments that prices seem to be higher than we thought but still cheap compared to UK.

Overall this resort is great and we would highly reccomend it and are desperate to get a cheeky week in March...If the snow gods finally decide it is winter and drop the much needed snow.

Any questions let me know. Happy to answer..

Just back myself. Did you not find the resort a bit anti boarding. I'v been boarding 8 year and never come across a place like it. Banning boarders from the T bar cos it was the only decent area, Couldn't believe it, i had 3 big arguments with the lift guys and managed to get on once.

I didnt use the T bar but I did hear similar experiences from others.

Sad Going out boarding in two weeks' time to the Orlovetz and Pamps.

Prices have gone up as well? How much is a beer, or three course meal now then? A meal was about £6 last time we went.
