Bulgaria Ski discussion board

I've given up early today as there is so much fresh snow the piste bashers haven't had a chance to get out and too many other beginners were out of control!!!

I was skiing along the green run quite happily when someone pulled out right infront of me - she then grabbed onto me as I went screaming - both vocally and physically - past and we managed to stay standing.

Then immediately after, I'm standing trying to recover from the shock when one of my own group took my out by going straight over the back of my skis. That's it I said to myself. Too many idiots out today. Had a nice relaxing day lounging around instead.

I'm off for another one of those 30 lev masages in half an hour. No need to book as you can usually get in without a problem. It may be that you have to wait a short while, but there's normally no problems.

Went to the ski instructors show last night - very very funny - if you can, make the effort. It's well worth that 20 Lev. Our instructor wasn't in it, but he did come and sit with us for the evening. Most of the group didn't get to bed until 3am - apparently there was a fantastic thunder and lightning show at about 3.30am, but I was fast asleep so missed it.

Food is still fine, even with all the intermittent power cuts we were having last night. I was just about to jump into the bath at about midnight when the power went. Thankfully I had one of those glow sticks in my washkit (left over from scouts camp) so I had a bath in a gentle blue glow. It was quite a let down when the power came back up.

Food is still good and hot - the soups are boiling here - so hot I've nearly burnt my tounge.

Had breakfast with Lizard this morning - he's lost his voice.

Powercut - logging off now.

I was going to fast to do anything like that - she grabbed onto me and we eventually came to a halt. I can't believe I was controlled enough to stop us both safely and still remain standing!!!

I had someone go into me yesterday too - with one down infront of me, I managed a controlled stop, I had an instructor to the side of me and this guy came crashing down the hill to the back of me. The instructors all tell me to get out of the way - Where to? The only place would have been down the precipice into the trees. Funnily enough I waited until the instructors moved out of the way!!!
