3. I see from looking at various web sites that under 7 are entitled to a free lift pass, is this the case? where would we get this? and do we have to buy other passes at the same time?
I would love to deal with ExPats but cant find many links ( Unlike Bansko) any help would be greatfully recived.
Thanks In advance,
Ian.
Am happy to repay your help with a beer when we all come out!!

1. I can definitely recomend PSL for return transfers to / from Sofia to Pamps http://www.psl-bg.com/Jordan who runs the company is a great bloke and speaks perfect English
re: PAMPOROVO Bits and Bobs
Contact Interski Bulgaria (Google it) and ask for Pete Todokov. Excellent English and a brilliant instructor.He'll also sort out lift passes and all your gear.
re: PAMPOROVO Bits and Bobs
Thanks have email the above!Owe you both a beer if your out week of 4th Feb.
Thanks
Any info on the free passes for under 7's
re: PAMPOROVO Bits and Bobs
Hi Ian,Just wanted to second PP's recommendation of Interski. We have used them the last couple of years and they have been fantastic.
Our 5 year old son had one to one lessons with a lovely lady called Desi, she was brilliant
We took our own boots and skis and they stored them there for us every night, saving us stuggling with them on the bus.
re: PAMPOROVO Bits and Bobs
Re. the free lift passes for under 7's.As I recall, they don't physically get a lift pass, but can use the lifts anyway. Its definitely the case in Boro and I'm 95% certain it was the case in Pamps too when I was last there a couple of years ago.
If I'm wrong I'm sure PP will correct me!
re: PAMPOROVO Bits and Bobs
Having not been 7 for 50 years I'm a little unsure on this Billy - but at a guess I think you're right
re: PAMPOROVO Bits and Bobs
Thanks to all loads of help am sure there will be more questions.Think I now owe a few Beers
Regards

Hi Ian
Another vote here for Jordan and PS rent-a-car. Brilliant service and excellent english. Also Interski - fantastic company. Also, most of the ski instructors in the main ski school speak good english.
Regarding under 7's - they don't get a lift pass and they must be accompanied by an adult at all times. This is fine if you have private tuition but if they are in ski school you may be asked to buy them a ski pass if you are not remaining with them.
We had some discussions last year ...

We had some discussions last year about piste insurance and I think the conclusion that we came to was that a minor is covered by the accompanying adults lift pass insurance and so would be transferred from the slopes in the event of an accident. However if the child was unaccompanied the situation is less clear.
(I know that the idea of an under 7 being unaccompanied on the slopes seems a little irresponsible but I do know a number of 6 year old lunatic skiers who can outski their parents and it doesn't matter how loud you scream 'wait for me'..... if they're off, they're off!)
