Ski Lessons

Hi, I'm looking to book a week skiing in Borovets for the 2nd week in March but I'm not sure about booking lessons. I've been skiing a couple of times before so with a few hours lessons would probably be okay but my partner has never been skiing before. As we want to be in the same class, we are thinking of booking a 1st time skiing pack (which would include list pass, ski hire and 6days lessons).

Hi, I'm looking to book a week skiing in Borovets for the 2nd week in March but I'm not sure about booking lessons. I've been skiing a couple of times before so with a few hours lessons would probably be okay but my partner has never been skiing before. As we want to be in the same class, we are thinking of booking a 1st time skiing pack (which would include list pass, ski hire and 6days lessons). From reading the other discussions, the group lessons sound a bit restrictive. If we book the 1st time skiing pack, do we have to stay with the group for the whole 6 days or can we go off on our own if we want after 2 or 3 days? I'm just wondering if we have to meet with the group to get our ski's/new lift pass everyday?
Thanks!!!!

If you book the learn to ski package you will pick up your gear on the 1st morning and be allocated to classes which is a bit hectic.

You could both ask to stay together but you would then be placed in a beginners group with your partner so you will find it a bit slow going. Leave the group after as many days as you like - ...

You could both ask to stay together but you would then be placed in a beginners group with your partner so you will find it a bit slow going. Leave the group after as many days as you like - but make sure you tell the instructor so they don't wait around for you when you don't turn up!! Also, if you are happy with your instructor you might want to slip them a few levs as they don't earn a huge amount and the tips they receive at the end of the week are always welcome. They'll be lots of us there 2nd week in March, should be great. Very Happy Very Happy
