Pamporovo or Borovets

Hi,

I'm planning on going snowboarding in early march to Bulgaria and was thinking of either Pamporovo or Borovets. Are you able to give me feedback and what is the best resort and then what Hotel to say in? Is it best just going half board and who is the best company to book through?

Thanks

Only problem with Inghams is that they don't fly from Scotland, Manchester is the closest. Sad

What about Balkan Kram, do they fly from Scotland?
We allways stay at the Samokov. rental/store at the hotel, and closest to the Gondola, whereas the Rila is at the lower but still good) pistes.
Balkan have deals on booking on line, much cheaper!
good luck!
