Lovin it! And so will you skatergirl xre: Skategirl!!!
lol. Thanks Queenie Yes I was very poorly sadly. ( Am still not 100% now. It was a very very bad bug) Had to spend a whole day in bed. Haven't done that since 2000 when I had flu and was bedbound for over a week. Shouldn't really have skied at all, but hey, I only get the 6 days a year to ski! I missed 3 days but managed the other 3 just about. Only really felt half right on Saturday, but I meandered down the blues. The main thing was though The kids ( and hubby) explored the whole region ...

I missed 3 days but managed the other 3 just about. Only really felt half right on Saturday, but I meandered down the blues. The main thing was though The kids ( and hubby) explored the whole region and did all the blacks and reds. There was only one red off, I think, so they made the most of it.
On the downside, the ski school is a joke. As I had booked with Balkan, you got a ski package which included tuition. We told them that the kids were red and black skiers and hubby & I am red and blue. We were happy for the kids to go in a faster group and meet us at lunch. They refused and said they'd have to keep the kids all day. We are a family. I don't have kids to offload them for a day. So, we decided the kids' d stay with us and do reds and blues. Where did they take us? The little iglika nursey slope. After going up and down we asked if we were going to the top of the mountain next go and were told no, we're staying here. So, we left in disgust and informed the rep. She said, it'll be sorted next day. I had retired by lunchtime Monday, as I couldn't stand up, but hubby and kids went off the next morning, waited 45 mins for an instructor, who took them in the gondola ( and took forever getting there and on) They started skiing at 11.15 am!!!!!! He then proceeded to bring them slowly, 100 metres at a time down the masala pathway. This is a confident red skier and confident black skiers. So hubby said, we are going, as this is a joke. The kids are black run skiers. The cheeky b****** said, "No, they are not good skiers" Hubby said there was a plume of smoke coming from his helmet! LOL The instructorasked where they'd skied and when he was told, Austria, France Andorra and Italy, laughed and said, Then they are not good skiers unless they learned here. Anyway hubby went, and after 2 wasted mornings, the rest of the week the kids were bombing down blacks and a few reds and having a whale of a time. I had thought they may benefit from lessons as it may tighten up any techniques etc, but I wish I hadn't suggested it now as they lost 2 whole mornings. BUT- they did make up for it, as they were out from 9.30 until last ride to the top each day after. They had a great time. But we are all agreed we will not be going back to Bulgaria again I am afraid. It's just not a very good place compared to everywhere else.
Thanks for your help and advice, and I am just so glad there was lots of snow and my kids had such a good ski.
