We have booked to go skiing and boarding for the first time NEXT January to Borovets. Can someone or anyone give us a good clue as what, as beginners, we really should need to take with us.
We are in the process of buying Ski suits and gloves and goggles. Considering we only have 20KG for each suitcase.......what else is to be taken?
Tony for your first time skiing do not spend a lot of money on gear unless you are 100% certain you will be going again. Should be plenty of bargains around now as the season starts to draw to a close.
You will need some good thick rubber soled boots for walking in the evenings and to get to the slopes.
Dont worry about the 20kgs luggage everyone else has it too and we manage

Only take for eve a good pair of boots (walking) four or five tee shirts one good jumper as the bars are very warm and wear your ski jacket at night. Two pairs of jeans 10 pairs of under pants 7 pair of socks sweat top trainers for the hotel. First aid kit plasters etc. this should come to about 16kg plus your wash kit. Towels not required hotels supply Always travel in your heavy footwear and pack the trainers. Have a good one.
Sometimes its best to hire your board or skis from GB and transport them this costs £15 and one can get most ski gear in the carry bag.
