re: Just back from Pamps Yesterday

I was at the Belmont too!

My skis went missing for the first four days and I agree there was sod all to do. I walked to and from the hotel to the shops a couple of times

shared a taxi one day back from the so called centre but was ripped off by the taxi driver in a knackered Skoda who charged 25 Levis

The Alaska shop refused to refund a incorrectly bought item. Did not even leave the shop when realised the item was not what I needed

Pamporovo really needs a village centre and things to do when you can't or do not want to ski

The ski centres also need a later closing time

Loved the hotel and the staff, food was very average! Having to get up at 3 am to catch the transfer bus

Ski Centres cannot close any later. The last lift up is 4.30pm and by 5.30pm it is almost dark. They have to ensure the mountain is clear and nobody is left up there, and any novice taking the last lift up may well take an hour to get down again. The depots are open until after 5pm so not sure what the problem was there?

If your skis were missing for 4 days, why didn't you hire a pair? I certainly would have! Were they your own or hired ones and how did you eventually get them back?

If they were hired ones and went missing from your depot then you should have insisted on a replacement pair.

As for things to do - there is tenpin bowling, swimming, husky rides. skidoo rides, pool tables, shops, sauna, toboggans, massage, casino, as well as many cafes and bars.

Cool

re: Just back from Pamps Yesterday

Because it was not just the skis but boots goggles, 2 x gloves, 2 x hats.

Went to look at buying some gloves but the cheapest I could find was 40 levis for gloves and I was told the skis would arrive Mon, on Tuesday I was told it be Wednesday

It probably gets dark around the same time in Finland where you can ski until 8pm, Poland and Slovakia where you can ski until 10 pm

Shops - where?

Yes did some bars and cafes, did some swimming and bowling.

I met a few people who did not come to ski or got hurt and each one complained their was little to do in Pamporovo

Skiing in the pitch dark at 10pm Surprised

Get real - that has to be the daftest posting so far this year!

They may well have floodlights in Slovakia in which case they could ski all night. But to suggest people should be allowed to ski in the pitch dark - plain stupidity!
