Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Reading various messages, there seems to be some confusion between the Kindergarden (4-7yrs) within Hotel Rila and Kingergarden Ski School. Some reports say you have to ski if your under 8 within the Rila Hotel Kindergarden (where you ski for 1hr in the mornings & 1hr in the afternoon) and in the meantime, its play time inside/outside depending on weather. However, if your 8 or over you can go the Kindergarden Ski School (similar to the adults (2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the afternoon). Can our 7 yr old ski with our 8 yr old without going through the Rila Kindergarden route? Please clarify, much appreciated.

don't know about your hotel but when we were out there a couple of weks ago there were 5 kids in our group and 3 were under 8 one was only 5 so they may be able to join your classes the people who had the 5 year old had to pay locally as the travel company wont let them do it at home, the rep said if they held the group back they may have to join the kindergarden but to be honest they picked it up better than the adults as they have no fear. if you would rather they skied with you talk to your rep locally they should be able to sort something out as if you go as family you want to stay in a family group. also some small children prefere being with there perents rather than with a group of stranges.

to be honest our instructed seemed to enjoy having the kids in the group and by the end of the week they were going down the green blue and some of the red slop a quiet a speed. typical they dont want to ski with you. the day we picked up our skis was pretty hectiec if you have a meeting place try and get there early and if there is a bus transfer get on the first 1 and sit at the front, as this will stop the kids getting bored we were at the back of a que of 270 not the best situation when you have small kids but once they got there skis there was no stopping them.
