Take it from me.... I've just got back and found out that it's best to take sterling and change the lot over there.....There are a couple of commission free booths up the main street that will give you a good rate.
If you can grab a few levs before you leave (I got £20's worth from Thomas Cook or even at the airport).....this will tide you over till you get more changed out there.
Hope this helps & enjoy the snow
