Do you mean 2010? If so, Borovets defo best for nightlife. Sth like the Flora apartments rather than hotel would prob save you money as you could have a few drinks / bite at home first and then raid the bars! Aso, in terms of booking it, go with someone like Hunters or another operator that has ski packs / lessons / apartments etc as any private owner will not be able to do such a good deal on ski stuff as they have to go through someone else any may put a mark-up. Also, if you're really ...

Hi - own absolutely no property or have any income form in BG whatsoever. Organised my first holiday there on my own and booked everything seperately - it ended up really cheap for 7 of us, so just giving feedback on my experience - I believe that is what this site is about...
BTW - Even if I was a property owner, I would still give impartial feedback. There are a number of english who do own properties / business and do the same.

re: Skiing in Bulgaria 9 Januray 2010

Hi there Darran,
I have been to Borro three times and am hoping to go back again this Jan and would deffo recommend.
I have always used a tour op but am weighing up the cost of doin a DIY myself at the mo.
I am considering booking a challet and ski packs through Balken and then the flights wi easyjet.
Am at a total of £750 for two of us inc everything at the mo, which cannot be matched by any operator!

Hope this helps
