Queue on webcam

Hi

Every time I look at the webcam, it's showing a very long queue -is this for one of the lifts? I've read on here that the queue for the lift's only bad before 10 on the first day - but it's always there on the webcam so is this queue for something else?

Also, as a beginner - do we all go to the same place and need to use the same lift or can we use one of the others? Never been so don't know how it works!

Cheers

re: Queue on webcam

which web cam are you talking about, pamps at the minute is showing where the ski school starts its leasons and bansko the bit on the web cam goes slightly up hill so if you dont get your speed up you have to semi walk up that bit and thats why there are lots of people round there never been to borovets so dont know about that one. As a beginer you will be with your ski instructor most of the time so you wont have to worry about the lifts they will take you on. hope this helps.

re: Queue on webcam

its the drag lift for beginners.

once you get skiing you can use any in the resort

Hi

Sorry should have said - was talking about Borovets. Does it look worse than it is then?

How long does it take before a beginner's good enough to go on another lift - and would we do that with the ski instructor or would we need to ditch the lessons to do that?

Thanks

re: Queue on webcam

Stick with your instructor, even if it is busy they know where to go to avoid queues. we went in 1/2 term last year - very busy and barely saw a queue. On the web cams you are often looking at the lines of beginners learning the basics. Fear not you will have a fantastic time relax enjoy and laugh a lot!

re: Queue on webcam

they also have drag lifts and beginners slopes on top of the mouintain also after a few days you may be taken on a cross country green run so dont worry plenty to go at
