re: Opinion

Premier resort does not mean the most money spent!

I would have thought we all agree there is a balance between improving infrastructure, building better hotels etc. versus preserving the beauty of the place, both culturally and environmenally..

Believe me I don't want Hotels stacked on top of each other, massive lift queues, ridiculous prices and a Mcdonald's in town.

After all if I wanted that I could go to France!!!

In Sunny beach there are no trees left.

re: Just back from sunny Borovets

Sorry Banskoboy,
but belive me - Borovets is a winter resort Cool (Nice restaurants,night clubs, night ski, ski shows, ski jumping area, cross-country and biatlon track etc.) Bansko is a winter village buddy Booze (cows, horses, village people, old style pubs, animal dirts on the streets etc.).
Maybe you have a property there and thats you are big fan of Bansko but look from the 1989 there is no big investment till this year. See you in 2007/09. Maybe you will see Alberto Tomba there

Thanks for sharing the info with us. It's just a shame we won't be there to see it this season. Crying

re: Opinion

Quite happy if they never spent a single Lev on Pamporovo.

I love it for what it is, not for what some gold-digger wants to make it.

re: Just back from sunny Borovets

Sorry Borovetsboy,

I have been to all three resorts recently and Borovets comes way behind Bansko. All the lifts in Bansko are brand new (E 30m recently spent) and the skiing is generally better (partly because of the runs and partly because it is a village and thus less accomodation in the area so no queues on the lifts).

The only thing Borovets wins on is nightlife

re: Just back from sunny Borovets

I agree Bonzo,
But only for the new lifts,
No no no...... I cant agree for the slopes. Belive me I am better skier then you and don't tell me that the Bansko slopes are better.
Borovets is on one hour from the capital Sofia buddy!!! You can sking in Maliovitsa or Vitosha as well and its only for 1 hour you are everywhere.
The lifts in Bansko are new but the position of Borovest is the best. Rila mountain is much bigger then Pirin.... SORRY but I have no time to get you a full ...

re: Just back from sunny Borovets

Hi Bonzo,

I have read this thread with great interest as I own a property near Borovets. Do you really think that the resort of Bansko will not build hotels and such to use up the new lift capacity. I can only assume that the money spent there was just to make it a better accessed, quiet resort for you. A return will be expected on the investment and that means more bums on lifts. The same goes for Borovets, if they increase the uplift capacity they will also increase the accomodation for ...

The same goes for Borovets, if they increase the uplift capacity they will also increase the accomodation for people to use it. Either way I hope it goes some way to improve the living standards of the local people. (oh, and property prices if I am completely honest)

re: Just back from sunny Borovets

Well just look at what Fraser started! Really children calm down, calm down! The sad truth is you cant stop change, I worry about Pamporovo I like it just the way it is and only wish I had discovered it years ago. My worry now is that in 10 years time it will have grown beyond all reason and will lose it's charm lets just pray is does not happen. And as for someone one stating I am a better skier than you well please.... come on what a silly statement even if true it is childish. Ps I am a ...
