Bulgaria Ski discussion board

..............I'm sure all these questions have been asked before but because my computer is soooo slow it would take me till Jan 13th (departure date for my 1st skiing holiday woo hoo!!) to look them up!

So here goes:
1) Socks. I've read its important to get good ski socks but they're pretty expensive so would I get away with just a couple of pairs of them and some thick sports socks?

2) Currency. Will I be able to exchange euros in Pamps ok or do I need to take dollars? (sterling works out to expensive to buy for me)

3) Night-time. What do people wear out at night?? I know heel and a mini would be out (!!) but should I take some dressy bits or just all casuals?

4) What do you wear under your ski trousers?!?!?! (no rude comments please )

Emm think thats all for now but I'm sure I'll think of a few more things! Thanks guys xx

Hi,

I'm sure you'll have a great time, but I would definately invest in a couple of pairs of good technical ski socks.

Currency, either works fine but from what I understand from other posts on this board there are cash machines in resort, so maybe you don't need to take too much loose cash.
Nightime wear - pass, whatever your comfortable and warm in I suppose.

You'll need to invest in at least 1 pair of thermals for under you ski wear. Also some additional base layers to go on top of these is advisable.

def invest in two or three good pairs of ski socks, if you wear two pairs you may find they rub and you end up with blisters, plus once you have them you dont need to keep buying so a good investment.

Euros will be fine in fact when we were in bansko some of the shops were taking euros and thats how we payed for our taxi.

at night I wear combats, a tee shirt fleece and timberland boots. but if you want to get more dressed up you can, but no heels are a no.

Under my ski pants I just wear pants, find I get realy hot and have never needed thermals, But if you are in ski school and stood around may need something underneath, take some in case.
