Previously it was def the ski school that got the money, not the instructor, they just got a free lunch. If they didn't do it they got threatened with less desirable work the next week , e.g. school groups

I've a good friend who is an instructor in Pamporovo and they are certainly making money on the food orders. Maybe the ski school gets a few quid but I don't think so.

Good thread mate, just back myself and my family and we
thoroughly enjoyed Pamporovo as we do every year, I will make it a point to seek out that restaurant next year as we were completely ripped off in Spider(I would advise any one going to give it a wide berth). but I agree that the only thing missing from Pamps is a few more smiles and a fairer deal from some of the restaurants for the holiday makers who are spending their hard earned cash there, hopefully they can get thier act together ...

My instructor told me that he gets a free lunch for taking us there and boy did he take advantage he ordered 2/3 dishes.

(Tip was deserved thou as he was a good instructor)
