just wondering how the cost would be to buy a mid-range snowboard and bindings whilst on holidays in early Jan '07 ? i know that it would def be cheaper to buy in Bulgaria, but i would just like to roughly know how much to budget for me and the girlie. Also if you have to pay import tax coming home?
cheers all, oh and to jump on the band-wagon we can't wait either!!
I have only been to Borovets (6th time next feb!) and bought my board, bindings and boots there.
I ended up with some Burton boots and an intermediate level head board and bindings for about £270. This was not as cheap as I was expecting but I bought quality, I have seen stores there doing packages for £199 but they may be only marginally better than hire boards.
As a rule when I checked prices in the UK i got a deal, comparable to buying from the US online but without import ...
Hi,
I have only been to Borovets (6th time next feb!) and bought my board, bindings and boots there.

As a rule when I checked prices in the UK i got a deal, comparable to buying from the US online but without import worries etc.
Also make sure you get a bag to bring the board home in! - we did not pay baggage for the boards as we just turned up with them and the airline assumed we had brought them over, up to you on this one!
