Just booked Borovets, Hotel Rila

Just booked Borovets, Hotel Rila !!

28th Jan - 4th Jan.

I went to Pamporovo last year at the same time and stayed at the hotel Pamporovo. The snow was crazy there. Apparently the most snow Bulgaria had seen for decades. There were cars completely covered after only a few days of snow fall. Resort was fairly quiet but ok the skiing was fun and good for beginners.

So this year thought we could change....how do you think this resort compares to Pamps ? Also how does the hotel compare ...

Boro, is much better, if your anything above beginner, and about the same if your are a beginner.

Also if your're not with an instructor, go up on the Gondala @ the start of the week as there are few people there
