I have just been quoted £170 for a learn to ski pack with Neilson, through Fast Track Ski. Fast Track are advising to book a ski pack in resort as it will be cheaper. Everything I have read about Borovets recommends that you buy your ski packs before you go. I was also in Borovets last year and found this to be true.
Every other company charges around £100 for the same learn to ski deal, and last year it was about £95. The package I want to book is only available through Nielson given ...

The package I want to book is only available through Nielson given the short notice (going 15th or 22nd Jan), but their ski pack prices are ridiculous, and pushes the total holiday cost to close to £500 per person! Are there any companies that will book learn to ski packs separately before you go, even if you dont book the rest of your travel with them? Any help would be much appreciated!

re: Learn to Ski - booking direct
I'm not aware of any Tash, thats why it is so important to look at the total cost of your holiday BEFORE you book anything.If you have not already booked, check the total price of Balkan, First Choice, Crystal Ski, and this site before you commit yourself.
Booking a ski holiday without booking the ski pack is like booking a cruise without a boat, they tend to go together.
And very few, (if any) ski tour companies will sell only the ski pack.

Could try Inghams, We've found them quite reasonablere: Learn to Ski - booking direct
Yep, Inghams seem to be the best for overall cost.I was lucky that I wasnt caught out by the selling tactics of Fast Track Ski, as they use the approach of 'lets book, and pay now' and then you can buy a pack in resort. If I hadnt been to Borovets before then I may have believed the sales pitch!
Hope no one else gets caught out!
re: Learn to Ski - booking direct
You have to check the detail, I'm afraid that it won't help you Tash but a warning to others - when we booked with Balkan I think one or both of the kids got a free 'learn to ski' pack or for £10 etc.... the only thing was the 'pack' didn't include the ski pass and luckily my good wife picked up on it when booking, it added to the overall cost we originally thought we would pay but at least I don't have to buy crampons or a pass in resort now for the kids!
