Just back from Austria and its 2.80 euro a pint, a 3 course meal in resturant 13 euro, a taxi ride was 6 euro for 4 people on a 5 min ride, lift pass covering 5 resorts £145, the food in the resort was fantastic and the locals were friendly.They even have hoods on the chairlifts and heated seats.

Bulgaria is great for beginners and i recommend it all the time, however she is changing very fast and not necessary for the better, look where greed has got us.
Absolutely Crazysnowboarder.
Take the blinkers off some of you.
I love BG and always recommed to people if they are beginners, but shop around other parts of Europe are just as good value for money with more slopes and better facilities for your money.

Read from a link from this site about the snezanka and the facillities for schools, " bulgaria ski school intructors can speak several languages, English, Irish, and American English."
Does that count as three?
