Private Lessons

Hi Everyone,

We're debating over Bansko or Borovets next year. My husband wants to know if you can book lessons with an instructor, one to one. We all learnt to ski in Pamporova a couple of years ago. I have since learnt to snowboard on our local dry slope and the rest of the family, hubby and two daughters (12 and 11) want to learn to snowboard. They can't learn at the dry slope because you have to be over 13 and my husband works away alot and can't regularly be here for the lessons ...

What's the best thing to do?

re: Private Lessons

Well i haven't been Boro, but Bansko was my first skiing holiday and i found that the instructors were very good, depending where you go. We went to a wooden building up on the left near a Cafe, can't remember name but the blokes name Toni and is Brilliant. The Ski hire is very,very cheap here to. We paid £5 a day for poles, skis and boots, and had free lessons we did have contacts thought through Bulgarian Properties, but it is very resonable

re: Private Lessons

Depends on the resort Julia.

If you go to Pamporovo just ask Ted or Gary at the Snowshack for a private taster lesson. They will help you no end.
