Bulgaria Ski discussion board

no my feet are digusting anyway, I had to go to snow and rock to ensure I got them fitted in england and they understood everything I needed - they still kill, but that's another story and not snow and rocks fault....

the boots sales normally do not begin until after the ski season, although I think decathlon have some good deals at the mo... if I bought again I possibly would buy over there as know what kind of fit I need now... and they do a good make over there called atomic, I would advise if you buy over there to go to a good boot specialist in the Uk and pretend you are buying that way you will get to know what kind of fit you need (unfortunately it does not go on the nicest coloured/looking boots as I found out has to be on fit and they all fit very different).

also if you can get someone in pamps who is bulgarian but speaks good english to go with you that will help, and you can probably do a deal that if they get you discount you will offer them a bung the ski shops tend to offer the ski instructors good deals and they would not mind helping if it meant a little money in it for them...

You will find by March the shops in pamps will already be having their sales ready to close for the season so even without discount should get a nice deal.

Thanks muchly Smigger for tipping me off about Decathlon - I've been today & got some salomon boots for £59.00 - I'm well chuffed.

Unfortunately my son also found some that fit him so it cost me another £59.00 but at least it was better than bogof cos we got 2 boots & 1 boot bag (sons using his backpack) for less than £130.00. Bargain even if I do say so myself.

Looks like I'll be spending some time in them over the next week or so before I go to Xscape to try them out on the slope.

Thanks everyone for your help
