re: Ski Lessons

If you haven't booked them yet, get back on to your tour operator, as everything is much dearer in resort.

The ski schools are brilliant in Bulgaria, if you are quite confident, you should be skiing off the mountain by day 3, my mate was 44 and had never skied before, and he skied off the mountain by day 3....and by the end of the week was doing easier blues, and one more difficult blue!

I hope this puts your mind at rest!

Nicky was patient and nothing was too much trouble. Lessons were 4 hours long with lunch inbetween but Nicky did not clock watch and we often had an extra hours tution. I promise you will have a fantastic ...

Hi

You'll be fine! We were in a group of 10 last week and all beginners, you feel frustrated at the end of first day but by the end of week you'll be skiing down the mountain. Our instructor was Nick also (must be popular name) and he was fantastic, very patient and funny! He took us down a red slope on the last day, was'nt perfect but we made it in one piece! We started at about 10 had lunch for hour at 12 ish and finished about 3 ish. Just make sure you are one of the first in ...

Just make sure you are one of the first in queue for ski fitting on the first day or else you may have to wait for an hour!!!

Have a great time! Wish I could come too!

Thanks for all the advice - feel a bit more reassured that I might actually be skiing by the end of the week!!! Only 2 1/2 weeks to go - hurrah!
