Ski's etc

Hi all
Hi,
As we are first time skiers, and doing the ski-school package for 6 days, I hope to get some info beforehand:
- How many people are in a group?
- How is the quality of ski gear provided?
- Do we use the same skis and boots for the period?
- Do we keep the skis with us during this time, or do we return them to the ski-school every day?
- Is there a storage in the ski school for us to use (if using same equipment)?

Lots of questions, but I suppose it comes along with the excitement of doing something for the first time!!

Tks Nic Very Happy

Hi Nic,
I was in Borovets a few years ago and the ski groups are between 8 and 10, the equipment we got was a store in the hotel, That was the hotel Mura) at the end of the day you take it back to the store. You keep tyhe same equipment for the whole week. I think the other hotel do the same. The ski schools are some of thr best in the world. I went to Italy and the ski school was only for 2 hours. I bulgaria you get them for the whole day.

We went to Borovets last year and there was about a dozen people in our group, though we are intermediates, I can't see other groups being much bigger.

The quality of the gear is OK. It is obviously all new at some point, but it depends on how much abuse it has been given.

Yes, you do keep the same Ski's, Boots and Ski Sticks.

We returned our equipment every night to the ski store and collected it again in the morning. They look after your "shoes / snow boots" while ...

We returned our equipment every night to the ski store and collected it again in the morning. They look after your "shoes / snow boots" while you are on the slopes for the day.

Hope this helps...

re: Ski's etc

you can get your skis from the ski store in the normal way for night skiing in front of the Rila.
