Hi Donna

So we've always used the "main" pamporovo ski/snowboard school (guys in green jackets). The snowboard lessons in the groups just seem to be the mornings, whilst the ski lessons go on beyond that.

I also understand this year that the 'standard' board package is only for 3 days this year, rather than the 6 for skis. But I guess you could do 2 X 3 day packages.

I've not really questioned this, asked if there was more time available or probed for alternatives since we have older teenagers (16/1Cool and they are much happier with this arrangement and want to go off on their own in any case.

There are also other schools beside the "green jacket" one, who operate (for example) out of studanetz, so for example this guy seems to do 6 days worth of 4 hour lessons for boarders - http://www.skischoolsteve.com/specialen.html - note I know absolutely nothing about him, just the result of a google search!

I'm afraid that's about all the help I can give right now.

Hi Dona

If you aren't traveling with a group then your best bet is the main ski school for group lessons as the other schools do groups but its usually people traveling together rather than joining a group. The main ski school do extra afternoon lessons at extra costs ..... But these are usually one on one
