Ski Hire in Borovets

Thanks Kas for all the updates

They are priceless

We (me and two mates) are travelling to borovets for the 1st time on the 30th Jan.

Can anyone tell us the best place to get ski hire, lessons and a ski pass.

Are we best booking in advance?

Any advice would be helpful as i have read about loads of crap ski gear around.

Hi ya,

Most of the ski schools are pretty good. Fraser is one of the best people to ask and will be on here soon I am sure to give you prices etc as he uses better equipment - some of the others are definitely 'dated'!! Sometimes they ask you to pay in advance or at least pay a deposit, or it can be slightly more expensive but again it depends on the school. Most of the newer / smaller schools tend to have better equipment.

Try at Vasco,s skischool. its infront of the gondola (right of the intrance). always a good price, good equipment, good teacher in board en skiing, small shop, so the people know you personal.

re: Ski Hire in Borovets

Depends on where in resort you are staying. Flora apts have 2 good depots. Both are independant of each other and worth getting prices from both.
i find these useful cos I stay in Flora but it depends on location.

Hello

I am staying at the flora apartments.

What are the names of the ski depots near by?

If we need any ski hire as there might not be any snow.

re: Ski Hire in Borovets

Hello Jean

Are you going for the big ski package.

You will have to let me know what the gear is like.

Hope it snows for you.

Keep an eye on Kas's posts as they are the most reliable (and honest)

Fingers crossed for ya.

Hunters have a depot in the Flora hotel/appartments. Reasonable kit and prices from what I remember.

Paul,
We have just come back from a week of pretty sad skiing, but having been to Borovets 5 times before we know some of the stuff on offer is really crap, but we have eventually found the 'ultimate' ski hire shop. SLS (ROSSIGNOL) under the Hotel Ela, 50m down the hill from the Gondola.

Ask for 'Lubo' he was a top bloke, good price and brand new Rossignol gear - fantastic!
