Sorry Rhian but ski school starts at aged 4 in Bulgaria.
You could get away with it by saying your child is 4, but that may invalidate any insurance claim should you be unlucky enough to need it.

Looking after somebody elses child is a very responsible job and at 3 years old it's probably too much to ask especially considering the high risks that skiing brings.

3 is kindergarten age, speaking of boro here, if you put said child in kindergarten , said child will get the opportunity, to ski 1 hour in the morning and 1 hr in the afternoon, i say opportunity because at 3 they may not go for the skiing might prefer sledging or just falling around anyway. Cool last year our daughter at 3 sledged this year shes got the skiing bug (despite threats to get her on a board but thats another story Wink)

re: Ski kids 3 yrs age

just returned from borovets where our boys of 3 and 4 were with the inghams nanny service and both were with ski school and the nannies for 2 hours in the morning and also in the afternoon if they wanted.The 4 year old managed to snow plough but the 3 year old wasn't really old enough to learn anything.However they both had a great time and are already looking forward to next year.
