Snowboard packs & lift passes

Im looking to book 3 full snowboard packs and 2 adult lift passes for Borovets in January. If possible I'm wanting to pay a deposit on the packs and then pay for the rest upon arrival in resort. Does anybody know of any companies which I might be able to do this with. Or am I best waiting until I get to Borovets and just organising it then?

if you have booked through a tour company you will get the best deal through them.

Haven't booked with a tour company, was miles cheaper to book flights and apartment independently.

then unfortunately you cant have it both ways you will find lift passes and packs will be miles dearer at resorts. for example crystals r currently doing packs for 94 pounds all in but you must book rest of holiday with them

Try emailing the BGSki site directly ... I've booked my ski packs through them in the past, however I also booked accomodation with them.

Laura, I would be interested to hear how much you paid in total, to make it miles cheaper.

We got free ski passes with Panorama in Ireland, but we had to book before August 31st.

In total we paid E685 per head. This includes Flights from Dublin, transfers to/from airport, Ski's, boots & lift passes, staying halfboard at the Lion hotel approx 600 yards from the Happy End.

Please include where you are flying to & from with your reply please

I tried pricing it the DIY way, but ...

I tried pricing it the DIY way, but with Aer Lingus not flying to Sofia anymore, and with Ryanair's baggage charges, it made the trip unaffordable

Hi Laura
I've sent you an email as although we look after skiers, we are next to school for snowboarders here in Borovets that we can recommend.
