Lift passes and ski hire in Pamps

Heading out to Pamporovo in a month. Holiday tour operator offers lift pass for £55 and ski hire for £60, is this a good offer. I have seen reports that a lift pass is as little as 12 levs a day is this correct?

Cheers

Most travel agents do full ski packs for around £100.00 buy it here, as it is double in resort!

Pete,
We paid £89 each for a full ski pack which includes 6 day lift pass, 6 days tuition and 6 days ski, boots & poles hire. This was with Balkan Holidays at the time we booked our holiday. Tried looking for some info on the Balkan Holidays site but could only find the Learn to Ski Pack at http://www.balkanholidays.co.uk/w04/starterpack.htm. Depends on what level you are.

Pay for everything before you leave , it's much cheaper than paying at the resort

Buy over here Pete. A lift pass in Pamps costs about 280 lev for a week.
There is a cheap one for a day but it only entitles you to one run up the lift and one back down again. It is aimed at people who just want to have a trip to the top and back again. I think this one cost 20 Lev.

Well that seems quite definitive, pre-book basically. Have booked with Crystalski, I assume their deals are about the same as anyone elses. Cheers for all the responses.

re: Lift passes and ski hire in Pamps

we have just got back from pamps and we got the learn to board pack which was £81pp but we had done boarding before so we just used the lift pass and hire from the pack, but it does cost alot more in resort. the new chip and pin system is very good in pamps aswell no need for messing with tickets
