Lifts open and lift passes in borovets?

Hi there, I'm coming to borovets for the 1st time on Saturday and can't wait! I know the snow is pants but we're going to have fun anyway (Booze Booze)! Just wondering if anyone can tell me what lifts and runs are actually open, and whats the best to ski on just now? Also, how much are lift passes in borovets itself? My tour operator are charging £115 per person for 6 days, is this about right, and is it easiest just to get it through them? thanks

Most lifts are open, the snow coverage is good on most sites, look at snow forecast.com, most runs are open after this weeks snow fall. Lift price you have been given is very good, same price in resort. Enjoy your week, I am sure you will.

Do you have your own skis? if not it may be cheaper to buy a ski pack before you go. Skis boots and Lps Smile

Normally passes are cheaper through your agents. Watch for posts from Kas & Bobby for info on whats open or not.

Not sure how you got all that for £210 Paul. I just tried exactly the same and it came to £259.00. Lift passes on their own were £230

Dont know how relevant this is but I have found show there price in £ but convert it to euros for payment. IE, a order of
2 X Adults lift Passes (£115 Each) 2 X Childs Lift Passes (£76 Each)
But wanted 471 Euros from my card, allowing for bank charges on my card it is cheaper to buy in resort by about £15. Which I basied on a exchange rate of 2.34 Lev & Adult pass (290 Lev Kids Pass 161 Lev). Dont know if this helps.
