Bulgaria Ski discussion board

you can buy bells in Pamps you cannot buy them in Bansko, is that good news?
I was there last week and ok not much snow but all in all still a very good week, had two days off from sking so as not to break anything trying to ski on ice but the rest of the time the sking was not so bad.... I had lots of spa treatments and relaxed, there is plenty to do if you can be bothered, the weather is lush at the top, so if not much snow get the lift up anyway and just chill out outside one of the restaurants catching the rays.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about the snow situation, but we can find other ways to enjoy the time away from work.... and..... it was snowing when I left about 6.30pm last night... the time flies regardless of the snow so just enjoy it, if you have a manual on petrol run ski lifts maybe go and help them maintain it, they needed help last week!!!!

Hi Swiss

We have been to pamp 3 times and really enjoyed it, first time we stayed at the perelik it was very basic but clean, other times stayed at the maugavets ( not sure how to spell it!!) that was a better hotel lovely pool food was warm and not hot but thats what you expect there it is edable. The pubs were quiet but the cheap beer and vodka makes up for that . Skiing was good and half way down the mountain is a macdonalds which is very cheap. Just go and enjoy yourself !!!

I think a good tip is to socialise on a big scale - the 'bon-homie' between skiiers is the bestthat there is - I've been on many a summer holiday and you just don't get that 'special' knit - due of course to the fact that we've all gone with the intention of sliding down the slopes>
Organise large scale pubcrawls, have poker nights, go sledging, have an excursion away form the village, go to the Irish pub in the Pamporovo and have a St Patricks night, organise a daft quiz night ......There's plenty to do in Pamps - thats why its a great place!
