Can anyone help....
I am having a Ski Pack Panic... I know it is cheaper to pre-book but my tour operator(Inghams) is refusing to sell me packs as I depart in less than two weeks... I am sure this is a standard scam of theirs, as there was no mention on their web site of this 14 day policy, I am sure they are hoping I will pay their reps twice the price in resort...
Does anyone know of an operator that will sell Full Ski/Board Packs separately to the actual holiday? Or a cheaper seller ...

Does anyone know of an operator that will sell Full Ski/Board Packs separately to the actual holiday? Or a cheaper seller in the resort? I have enquired with boro-sport and believe the regular price in resort is 295 Euro, around £200.
Any help is gratefully recieved... We leave on 26 Feb

re: Ski Packs Panic!!
Someone said on an earlier posting that Balkan Holidays would sell then separately even if you didn't book a holday with them.Good Luck
re: Ski Packs Panic!!
Thanks val,I have tried Balkan... and the man from Balkan... He say No...! Just like a dozen other operators I have called or emailed... Think I might have to accept the fact that Iam not getting a cheap holiday after all...
Thanks
re: Ski Packs Panic!!
It does sound expensive. Although Bulgaria is a cheap option it is the only country I have come across where there is such a difference between pre-booking and buying in resort. We are going to Bansko on 26th with Neilson and they have sold us two lift passes for £75. In the resort they would have been £100 each!Have a good time anyway. Where are you flying from?
re: Ski Packs Panic!!
Dave,here a older message (Tracy) I looked up for you:
You could try the Albena ski school in Borovets. I booked ski package with them and saved nearly £80. Neilson were charging £170.00 per person. They may be cheaper. You could phone before you go speak to Valentino on 00359 46776277. There is a 2 hour time difference.

Definitely ring Val before travelling and then you are deemed as a pre booked package. He is very helpful and comes highly recommended - from me!! as well as Tanjette.Good Luck

We fly out this Sunday and booked our beginners ski pack when we booked less than 3 weeks ago. Beginners pack inc. lift pass, ski hire and lessons £94/person. My bro has been before and he's paid £114 for advanced ski lessons. We have booked with Balkan Holidays via going places.re: Ski Packs Panic!!
Hi can't understand this as i only booked my holiday with inghams yesterday and phoned up and added the ski pack ans ski carriage today....they did keep going on that i must be complete beginner...but we all know it doesn't matter when you get there as groups for all grades!!! so give them a ring and just say you wish to add this to your booking with your ref no and hopefully you'll get sorted...let me know how you get on......re: Ski Packs Panic!!
Hmmm.. Thanks Tez (and all)...
That is very interesting!! I booked with Inghams about 3 months ago and then called 12 days before departure to add ski packs and they were quite insistant that I was not getting ski packs added and indeed quite rude too! We even had to ask to speak to a manager... who was also rather rude and insistant. I'll have to postpone my judgment of Inghams till after my hols... I do hope they re-deem themselves.
Anyway I have taken the advice of Tanjette and ...

Anyway I have taken the advice of Tanjette and Ellie, and called Valentino at Albena ski school.. He says he'll do £98 per person for the whole pack !! Cheaper than Ighams .. and friendlier too!!
Thanks all for the advice...
