Snowboarding in Borovets

I've booked with Balkan Holidays, Borovets over New Year. The thing is, my teenage boys snowboard, and have done for 3 years now, but the only option when booking in Boro seems to be the learn-to-snowboard package (unlike Pamporovo where you can just book a snowboard package). They don't need or want to go through the absolute basics again, though I do want them to have lessons, if only because it means they are not on their own being daft!

So does anyone know how this is likely to work? Should I be thinking about finding them an instructor in advance, or are there likely to be others with experience who have also booked the learn-to-snowboard package...

simple if you want them to join a group, they can use the intermidiates, then they'll have a blast, happy days alround

The school on the first morning will ask for your previous experience and put you in the appropriate group. Dont worry about having booked a LSB Pack

re: Snowboarding in Borovets

Thanks, I wondered if they would be allowed to join intermediates if I had booked the L2SB pack. I didn't know if there would even be an intermediate group. I just thought that it was the cheapest way to get them the equipment and lift pass. Anyway they only get lessons for 3 half days, so I will need to sort out something for the next 3 days for them.

Yeia sou John!

You can find lots of information on this site. I found it very useful before my first snowboarding trip. There are also some helpful people here who can tell you most things you need to know, except when it is going to snow!! Wink

we too have booked learn to snowboard package with balkan go on 13th jan, does anyone think as you only get 3 2hour lessons that for the other 3 days will need to get private instructor???

can you just get instructor when out there or for the other 3 days is it just practicing to stand up off your arse Exclamation
