The Snowshack is no more ;-(

Dear friends,

I just wanted to personally thank all of the people who have supported the Snowshack in Pamporovo over the last 20 years. It goes without saying that without all of the fantastic, positive and kind recommendations many of you (and you know who you are) have shared with new clients via this forum has enhanced our business greatly and for this- I Thank you All!

Dear friends,

I just wanted to personally thank all of the people who have supported the Snowshack in Pamporovo over the last 20 years. It goes without saying that without all of the fantastic, positive and kind recommendations many of you (and you know who you are) have shared with new clients via this forum has enhanced our business greatly and for this- I Thank you All! Over the years myself and my brother Steve have endevoured to promote the sport of Snowboarding in Bulgaria with a friendly, fair and proffesional approach and as i am proud to say we were the first, sadly we will not be the last.

Due to many negative external influences on tourism generally this business for me has now become untenable and The Snowshack this winter will not be operating in Pamporovo.

I cannot express in words how much it saddens me to write this post but on a brighter note i have met many fantastic people over the years and in the process made many dear friends and again for this, i thank you all.

My life and business interests in Bulgaria are not over by any stretch and i will be meeting many of you again in the future- maybe even this winter in Pamporovo but this time i will be on holiday too!!

My very best wishes to each and everyone of you and i hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and an even better 2012 for all.

Gary, Steve, Stan and Ellie

I'm lost for words mate - completely stunned.

Hopefully we can catch up later.

We (me, Ange, Sherre, Paul, Scott, Michiela) and a few more will be in Pamporovo on 3rd March and hopefully we'll see you then.

Many will see this as the end of an era - I certainly do.

I could fill a book about all the fun times we have shared with you Ellie, Steve, Ted, Stan, Krassie and Cissie over many, many years.

In the early days there must have been at least 50 of us all sharing some wonderful times and the memories of those days will stay with me forever.

Don't really know what else to say.

Take care buddy - and don't be a stranger.

Pamporovo will not be the same without the friendly staff of the Snowshack, you all will be missed! It would be great to ride with you guys if you are in Pamporovo over half term in Feb. All the best guys and have a great Christmas and new year.

Although we've never been to Pamps / met you, gutted for you... Hopefully tourism will be back on the up soon and you can start a new viable venture in Pamps!

Good Luck

I am really sorry to hear that - was looking forward to getting my kids boarding with you this year. I'm not surprised though, from what I hear, and I don't suppose you will be the only ones. Good luck to you and I wish you all the very best.
