Just back from Pamps

Just back from an absolutely suberb trip.
Snow conditions on all the upper slopes were brilliant, a bit slushy in areas towards the bottom at Malina (turned icy later in the week).
Did the 2 new blue runs down to Stoikite - they are great although they did get very slushy at the bottom (apparently there will be snow machines installed there for next year).
By the end of the week I think only one red and one blue run were not pisted athough plenty of people were going down those runs ...

By the end of the week I think only one red and one blue run were not pisted athough plenty of people were going down those runs anyway.
Had lunch and a beer for less than a fiver each day (max price paid for a large beer was 3 lev) so cant see what the fuss is about pricing, just shop around (we had great food at Peters pub at the mid station + Restaurant Rossignol at Studenets).
Only downside was being overcharged at the BBQ Restaurant - such a shame as we had a fantastic meal + was overcharged less that we would have given as a tip!
Was snowing as we left so hopefully everyone heading out there will have as good a time as us.
Roll on next year!
