It is also possible to book the full ski packs even if you are not going with a tour operator. Independant apartment owners are able to book lift passes, ski equipment, lift pass and lessons as a package for their guests at prices which allows them to compete with the tour operators. Well, at least I can!

Book ski pass at skiextras: 264 levs (plus booking fee, card charges, postage???)
Buy at Borovets: 286 levs.
Difference: about £12 for the weeks pass. Not what i would call substantial! Especially if the various fees listed above eat into this £12!
Also, if you get a day or two when the lifts are closed do you get a refund?? Probably not. Buy as you use if you are on a budget!
Not trying to be argumentative Pete, just making people aware of the options Very Happy Booze

re: Pre Booking ALL Your Requirements

You are comparing just one option. Book through Balkan or CrystalSki and most other tour companies and it's a lot cheaper. No booking fee, no card charges, no postage.
My post said - If you book with your travel agency - not off of a website.

I paid £74 for a 6 day pass through Balkan.
In resort it's £98.

As far as I'm aware, you will not get a refund from anyone if the lifts are closed. Only if the resort is closed through lack of snow.
