Bulgaria Ski discussion board

1st timer here after stopping in Bansko last year, in my book Boro kicks the s**t out of Bansko, apart from hotel & gondola quality everything is better

Stopped at the Hotel Olymp, my this place has seen better days but, the beds were comfy & the showers were hot & they have by far the best barman i've ever come across in Boris

This bloke couldn't do too much for you, any drink we requested he'd go to the cash & carry & get for us, we had a 30th birthday out there & he even went & sorted us out with a quality bottle of champers at cost

Food places i can reccommend highly are the place next to Bar Boni , Golden Horn, Mamacitas & the Irish one on the road over from Hotel Rila

The boarding was great, the green run down from the gondalo is particurlarly good especially with all the jumps & off piste oppurtunities, the snow had started to run out so a few runs weren't so appealing after the 1st day but the dump happening now will sort it out

Think we'll be coming here again next year, unless Slovenia or Serbia attracts us more

Yea you can, you can board all the way down from the gondola without ever touching a drag lift

But if i were you i'd have a practise on the one straight off the gondola & then the one that takes you to the top of the blue run (which is ace)

The far red one was closed & the one inside was pretty awful, fell off twice & have a beauty bruise on my inner thigh, but it has to be done as that red run is brilliant & there's loads of jumps (we made 4 in total)

Best thing you can do is let your arms take the work & just look a few metres ahead so you can concentrate on the bumps etc
