Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Going in less than 2 weeks. Can anyone answer any of the following:-

Whats Hotel Murgavets like? Is it better than the hotel I sayed in last year, Hotel Pamporovo? Is the swimming pool, etc free and any good?
Anyone else in Pamps at the same time?
Where is the best place to go in the evening (going with my 9 year old son)?
What are the hire skis like - are they the same ones from last year - Orion or something like that?
Are the coach drivers from the airport still the fastest on the planet?!

Last year went to restaurant below Murgavets hotel, can't remember its name tho. They had "entertainment" there including singers etc apparently typical folk style. However, as part of evening they also had an act that did fire-walking and other stuff. Kids absolutely loved it (as adult kept thinking about safety aspects - would never be allowed in our so-perfect country!) and asked to go back. Food was rather good, garlic bread delish, big portions if I remember right, whole lamb spit roast in front of open fire. Recommend booking if you are going to go.

Hope this helps some.
