Just back from a week in Pamps, and overall we had a good week, especialy after the snowfall on Wed, but there were a couple of really bad points
Nighmare transfer from and return to Sofia. Return Flights delayed by 4 hrs. The main three man lift broke down on Friday resulting in queues of over 1.5 hours. (We were told it will take most of next week to fix.)

But the worst thing... the beginners ski school were in groups of 20 to 22 people. The instructor tried her best to teach 21 students in my childrens group but it was all too much. They each had to wait 20 mins at a time to attempt each exercise and she kept losing people as they crashed.
I complained to a Pamporovo ski school chief instructor and he shrugged and assured me that it was always the same there.
I don't know if it was a overbooking thing over the New Year Week or it it always happens. It wasn't like that at Borovets or Bansko

Green 6, Blue 1, Red 2, and Red 5 were skiable on Fri although the Green and Red 2 were starting to suffer because the blacks and other reds wern't open. but the queues for the One Man and Four Man chairs were awful.It took us 3 hours to do 2 runs on Friday. 1.5 hours waiting and 15 mins to come back down
