Going to Pamporovo early March...already a competent skier..should I try boarding? Going with a mixed group..mixed ability, some skiing, some boarding...but heard use different slopes...is this true?re: SKIING or BOARDING??

We go to Borovets and the schools use different areas for obvious reasons but im sure when you all get together in the afternoon that you will find a slope that suits you all
Have a great time whatever you choose to do
P.s. Caro just bought some blades so she has a second choice of muscles to wear out lol
