Snowboarding packages

I was in Pamporovo a couple of years ago and took the snowboarding package being offered by Balkan Holidays. This was 4hours a day for six days. Which I loved.
This year I'm taking my boyfriend for his first taste of Snowboarding and was only able to book three days at two hours a day. I was told by the company that this is all anyone needs. (I'm obviously a slow learner if this is all you need)

Does anyone know if this three day package now all that's being offered by the school or is this 'special' to Balkan Holidays. The ski school I notice still runs for six days.

They all offer 3 days at 2 hours a day - seems fairly standard.

Ski school is standard 6 days and 4 hours - exhausted at the end of it mind you

I'm also going on Jan 22 with Balkian. And was offered the same deal, but requested another 2 extra days for my first time snowboarding friends, at very little extra cost. Also went last year, and yes it was 4 hours for 6 days!

The normal I have experienced is 6 days with 2 hours on each. This time I only want 3 days!!, more time to explore!!

re: Snowboarding packages

Different operators offer different packages.

Ive seen:
3 x 2hr
6 x 2hr
and
6 x 4hr

as possibilities. They can make more money by focussing on 3 x 2hr as you will buy more lessons if needed in resort which = £££.

I found that operators who offered 6x4hr charged more money for the holiday overall so you pay for what you get one way or another.
