Shepherd needed. Borvets - 6th to 10th Jan

Hi,

I'm going to be in Borovets from 6th to 10th Jan with some Bulgarian friends. I've just realised that they are novices, so they won't be skiing with me. In the event that there's enough snow, is there anyone or any group out there willing to show me the way down the big slopey thing?

Hi,

I'm going to be in Borovets from 6th to 10th Jan with some Bulgarian friends. I've just realised that they are novices, so they won't be skiing with me. In the event that there's enough snow, is there anyone or any group out there willing to show me the way down the big slopey thing?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the reassurance Mark,

However, I assume you're talking about being split into groups during the lessons. In fact, I had planned to donate my lessons to one of my Bulgarian friends who needs a bit of persuasion to actually try skiing.

I guess I could just go on the lesson and hope there's a group of people at my level. To be honest though, I'd prefer to just have a group to whizz down the mountain with - fun and safety in numbers and all that.
