Hi, I am one of 6 blokes going to Borovets on 2 March staying at the Iglika Palace Hotel.
We are going to try snowboarding for the first time, some are intermediate skiiers.
We have booked thru Balkan.
Are we better booking a package for hire/lessons/lift pass thru them or sorting this out in the resort when we get there?
Would anyone recommend a ski school/board and boot hire shop to us?
Idea is we do maybe 3 days on boards, see if we like it..can do it!..then possibly back on the skis ...

Any comments would be really appreciated. (Unless you are telling me the hotel is a dive and I will worry for two months!)
Cheers, Brian.

re: Snowboard hire/tuition
Hotel not a dive, we're out the same week staying in the Flora this time.Bob did a Boarding taster session one evening the first year we went (booked at the rila hotel.) Don't know how you go about booking a half week. Might be better to find instructor that will do it as "overtime". The first few days they'll be busy with the newbies in ski/board school.
re: Snowboard hire/tuition
book the package through balkan...it will deffo be cheaper than sorting once there...even if you only do half a week in lesssons.re: Snowboard hire/tuition
Thanks everyone. I've actually found quite a bit of info using the search facility...I had tried it before but it came back without any matches, thought it was not working..it seems fine now.I would have thought booking over there would be cheaper but doesn't seem the case?
re: Snowboard hire/tuition
I can arrange boarding for the 1st half of the week then ski the second half at the same price as a ski pack.Fiona.
