Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Ive been on a dry slope a few times and can nearly stop!! I say nearly I suppose i mean I fall over sometimes or end up going backwards a short distance, sometimes i can actually stop correctly. I can nearly Parallel ski not from a great height as Ive only been on dry slope and didnt feel I had full control.

Now when I booked the Hollybobs I told the lady all this and shes pit us down as INTERMEDIATE not BEGINNERS. Im not a total beginner I just need a bit more guideance.

My question is, is that wise?

Ohhh I would say you are way out of your depth. As beginners in Bulgaria you will be taught to stop (without falling over), basic turns and more advance turns (like step turns). They progress you quickly anyway from Nursery slope to more advanced slopes with their no nonsense approach. If you dont know what a snowplough or a step turn is you need the beginners group! On a more practical level you get shown how the lifts and things work if you are a beginner (you would look stupid asking how the button lifts work as an intermediate). But if you fancy going down the top red run on your arse go for it!!

You'll love it what ever you decide but I'm sure you'll have less bruises (and brown pants) in the beginners group!
