Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi Melissa again.

Opinions on this are bound to vary and I don't particularly agree with Fraser on this one. If you can do basic turns and stop then there is no reason why you can't just have a go on an easy slope and I believe there are slopes in Borovets which are ideal for beginners. I go to Bansko which isn't good for beginners so that is a different scenario. Try and use chairlifts rather than t-bars and you'll be fine and as your husband has skied before he will help you I'm sure.

Thanks everyone and yes you are right opinions will vary.

I have to say I don't know the difference between all these chairs you mention - maybe someone can enlighten me

Tanjette thanks for your advice too much appreciated. If I fall and loose control my lovely hubby will be there to help and support me and of course have the good laugh afterwards too.

I may just do a hour or two private tutition as my instructor at the dry ski slopes thinks thats all I'll need after I've finished my lessons there.

Quality time alone is nice but I want to spend my time in the snow with my hubby!!

Thanks again

I have only skied twice and both times in Borovets., The second year my husband was in a different class to me and I stayed with the children. He joined us for a couple of the days - Wednesday and Friday by which time we were going up the gondola and tackling the more challenging slopes anyway.

I personally think the slopes in Borovets are quite challenging once you get past the nursery ones outside the Rila. The instructors are more like guides anyway in Borovets and show you the ropes and plan the most suitable runs for you.

This year we are going to Morzine in France with a big group of friends. The children are all having morning lessons and apart from me the rest of the adults aren't taking lessons - they have all been many times before and are more proficient than me!!

I don't want to miss out on the fun but the same time feel I need some guidance. With this in mind I have booked 3 afternoon lessons on alternate days. Maybe an idea for you.

Christo in The White Magic bar comes highly recommended in Borovets so you could always look him up and book a morning with him and then go from there.

Hope this all helps and enjoy whatever you decide.
