Hi all,Going out to Borovets on the 19th January and just making some decisions on what else to buy regards to thermals etc.
Anyone been to Borovets lately or out there now who can give me a clue as to temperature.
Also how many layers are people wearing?
Cheers all,
Alex

I was in Boro last week (I'm the numpty boarder who broke her wrist on the second day!). It went as low as minus 12 one day so thermals are a must.We were wearing thermals, fleece, jacket, neckwarmer, hat and gloves, though I couldn't put gloves on after my accident. I took some photos up at the top of the gondola and my fingers were numb after about 1 minute's exposure!
It 'warmed up' to about minus 2 by the end of the week.

Thats just the thing i was after!Anyone else got any advice? I havent been to Bulgaria before and everyone tells me its cold.
I went to Avoriaz last year and was sooo hot!

I went to Borovets in Feb 2005, it's the coldest I've ever experienced to date, -30 mid week at top Gondola station, ended up wearing everything I took to last the week all week, 4 base layers and my ski jacket. Though my ski jack was quite thin and cheap, invest in a desent one, TKmax for the best deal. If you're a novice skier and going into school take plenty of warm layers as all the learn slopes are on the top of the Gondola mountain, and that's were you'll be all day long, it's cold up ...

We were there over Christmas and i wore thermal top and fleece plus ski jacket on the first day and thought i would disolve from heat after that just wore a t shirt and my ski jacket and wasnt in the least bit cold. think it all depends how much you feel the cold.re: So how cold is cold?
Just back from Pamps. It was minus 26 at the Top Station on one day with wind chill so you must have good quality gear that is breathable. Snow is excellent.Apres Ski bar at the Perilick has a brilliant live band.
