Hi People,Heading to Borovets in feb 06, was there in march and pre-booked the ski pack, didn't think much of the boots/ski we got, the instructor was below par as well, can anyone suggest how to get good equipment/lessons at a resonable price, or is it best just to book through the holiday company??
re: Ski Hire
Bobby, If you are a real dedicated skier, (and it sounds like you are) and you intend to go year after year, I would strongly recommend you get your own gear. Best thing we ever did. You then have skis you know you can trust, and boots that will fit like a slipper. Always comfortable, and therefore your holiday will not be ruined by bad equiptment.You should be able to get boots, skis, poles bindings and carry bags all for about 200 quid in Bulgaria.
You wont regret it.

It is well worth getting your own boots though, and get them properley fitted !
