Snow - again!!!!

We have paid nearly £4k for our first family ski holiday which includes tuition. On top of that we have spent nearly £800 on gear and some lessons at xscape. We are an ordinary family on a moderate income and Pamporovo was recommended as an ideal first location but nobody mentioned that we may not be able to ski!!!! We were told snow machines are used in worst case scenario. We are getting really concerned now.

Gill,
We are in the same boat, 4k down and depressed and three very dissapointed kids. Gutted but there you go I just hope there is a good bar and a rep that can take plenty of pressure. I tried to get diverted today but they wont have it the only thing we might get back is tuition fee's but won't hold my breath. good luck and keep praying

re: Snow - again!!!!

Gill, you must have a large family!!! 4k seems very expensive unless you are going to top of the range hotels etc...are you going for 2 weeks?

This is our 3rd year, family of 6. 2 adults and 4 kids ages 14,11,9 and 6. We havent paid more than about £1400/£1500 all in with tuition etc...

Hope the snow starts soon!
