I've looked through the forum history, but im looking for more up to date answers to the same old questions.
Last year i didnt pay for ski school, i rented gear and had a few short 1-2-1 lessons from 'snowmasters', which was quite lonely TBH.
Would ski school be more recommendable for a novice? and if i book when im out there am i going to end up paying more?
Ive changd my spedning money to Japanese Yen already, but i get paid while im out there, wheres best to get the money out and ...

Ive changd my spedning money to Japanese Yen already, but i get paid while im out there, wheres best to get the money out and exchanged, and best to not get fraud-ed?
I used the cashpoint near the gondola last time, and i ran out of money tooo fast, im guessing theres a bad rate and a charge on that machine.
Post office is offering 2.14 at the moment i think.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if these questions are a pain.
Defo better to go for ski school IMO
Good social for people on their own
Not sure about rates out there as opposed to booking early but a quid or 2 here and there I would like to bet not much more

I`m heading out on my own on 26th Feb and will prob book an Int or Adv group lesson for the same reason as mentioned above. It`s prob the best way to mix and make friends quickly. I`d love to take a couple of 121 lessons with Bobby from Bobby`s bar as he sounds brilliant but poss later in the week. I have always used the cash machines out there before and from memory it never made that much difference in total at the end of the week. Everyone seems to meet at Bobby`s bar from the forum and ...

Everyone seems to meet at Bobby`s bar from the forum and there seems like an amazing commeradery between them and the owners so can`t recommend there any more han that! If you can get in the door that is as it sounds like a really busy place! Have a great time and maybe even see you out there?

I booked through lastminute as opposed to balkan/inghams etc, so i didnt get ski school as an option.
I'll transfer to lev before i go and pay in cash there i think. Thanks

ive heard the name bobby's bar dropped a few times in the few days i've been lurking here, its got to be the one bar i didnt visit last time, so i'm interested to see what all the fuss is about.

I`m a skier, always wanted to board, but too scared of spending a day on my arse after skiing for so long don`t want to feel like i`ve wasted a day. Not booked my lift pass yet, but will do in the next day or so through Balkan and will book lessons too as it`s not much more expensive and should be a good way to meet friends. I`m staying at the Samokov too so will see you when you get there I`m sure?
ill keep an eye on the board to see whos still sbout aswell while im here.
from my room in the samokov last year i managed to connect to white majic's wi-fi so free internet in the room this year aswell hopefully,
im going to decide on the 1st whether to board again or give skiing a go, think ill get drunk and let it be decided on a coin toss
