Rough Estimate

For Size 8 Ski boots in Bulgaria. Thinking of buying when I am over but would it make any difference to a novice and what would entry level price be. Also how long does it take from walking into the store to going down the slopes.

re: Rough Estimate

Last season I paid £100 for a pair of top of the range Head ladies boots in Pamporovo - £300 in the UK.

Go and See Pete Todorov in the ski shop under Markony's. He's experienced in proper fitting and has the heaters and all the equipment in the shop as well as a good range of boots for all sexes.

.... All that said, looks like it might be worth checkng out your nearest Decathalon store first though.
