Ski Passes

Need some advice.

We have booked our ski holiday through Balkan Holidays but have not booked lift passes (don't need lessons or equipment).

Can someone give me definitive answers to the questions "Can I buy ski passes before I get to the resort?" and " If I have to buy the passes in the resort, where should I go and how much should I pay?"

Arriving Saturday 24th Jan.

Thanks

Danny

re: Ski Passes

Buy before you go. Will cost twice as much if you wait and buy in resort.

Have been told today by Profi Tours aka Bulgariaski.com that

"Unfortunately we do not offer ski services only.
We offer full packages with accommodation.
If you need to book a hotel too we will be happy to assist you."

So it looks like if they did they don't anymore!!

SO for all.

Profi tours is forced by the company which runs the Lift system to sell only the lift passes to her guest. It is an stupid idea to ask a bulgarian to buy a lift pass, becaused these pass are for bulgarian and not working with strangers. So try out to get the pass before or buy it on your rep.
