Hello Ski fansGoing to Borovetts for the first time next month, any idea what the ski hire is like???
Have heard it is not the best, and it abit of a fight to get some ggod skis
Can you upgrade to a newer better level of ski?
Staying at the Rila
Or should I just take my own?
Many thanks
Marcus

Hi Marcus
You will be with Boro Sport and ski depot is in the hotel. Ski hire is ok, depends on your level. Usually been fine for all levels in our group and they have changed them when necessary. Having used someone elses skis last season, I did notice a difference, mainly edges.
If you have your own and don't mind paying the extra flight costs, then take them but perhaps only use them if there's good snow cover. If you have prepaid ski package then you will have ski school ...

The Rila is happy for you to take skis etc back to your room rather than leave own in depot. They also let you wear boots to and from room.

I've just come back from Borovets. I left my skis behind and hired skis from Borosport. The first morning they were awful - no edges and really sticky, but after a chat with the depot at lunch time they sent me down to the service centre behind the gondola where they sorted them out (no charge). After that, no problem. Be aware, though, that if they service them in the Borosport hire depot it will cost 10 lev.re: Should I take my own skis to Borovets???
