Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Snap to that jim.

Been doing it for 10 years. But was very disappointed that so many pistes were closed. I will be emailing Inghams on this problem as well as the bigginer skiers were herded into larger classes, I saw classes of 15 + with Boro Sport instructors general rumour here was due to new management in Boro Sport. Usually they have around 160 instructors this season only 60. (Appologies if I'm wrong). Then the other issue was the closed pistes on top of the mountain.
Markudjik 1.
Markudjik 2 A
Markudjik 2B
Markudjik 3.
Unofficail reports said there was plenty of snow up there but due to Boro Sport sacking lift opperation staff there was no one there to run them.
At the top of the gondola it stated these piste were closed but the instructors were taking begginers from the Suhar learner slope accross the closed Markudjik 1. and onto the closed Musala pathway. Looks an insurance issue there if any one had injured themselves there.
I won't mention the piste preparation, I suspect someone will add their comments for this nugget.
As in improving intermeadiate I managed all week.
Overall I had a good week as I have seen the slopes in a worse condition.
It will be interesting to see when the snow really falls if they open the closed Pistes, or can they still say closed due to no snow cover.
Highlight of the week meeting Kas & Bobby. Hi to both will see you next season. Advice hit the delite button with gusto and stop worrying.

WE WILL BE BACK.

S.P.

Snow Plough agree 100% with you.

Have been to Borovets twice a season for the last 4 years and have always had a good time.

We were out 10th Jan this year and were very disappointed with the piste maintenance and the fact that the top of the mountain was closed despite the snow looking ok from what we could see, sure it has been worse on the top in previous years but open!

We are not about to give up on Bulgaria and are hoping to head out again in March if the snow has improved but do think that the resort management need to take a long hard look at themsleves and the service they provide for the customers and the local businesses that depend on the tourists.

Will also be back
