Bit of a tricky one that Phil because I only go to Pamps. But I think I am going to try Bansko soon, never fancied Borovets much. All I will say is every time I ask an instructer which resort the prefer they always say Pamps, this includes a guy who used to ski with the Bulgarian national team.

Hallooooo Judith,
In a roundabout way, that has sort of answered my question. Lisa is going to love skiing I just know. The problem will be finding a happy medium not just for me, but her, our ten year old, my cousin, a friend who seems to be a complete natural, another friend who will bring his ten year old etc etc.
The first year we went to Borovets we did two days on the nursery, and then straight to the top of the single chair, and then straight to the top of the mountain in very icy ...

The first year we went to Borovets we did two days on the nursery, and then straight to the top of the single chair, and then straight to the top of the mountain in very icy conditions. I displaced my lower right leg on the ice (thats what the traumatologist said, I didn't actually lose it or anything, it was still attached). If at all possible, I would spare her that risk. Looking at your photos, it looks like the runs are wider/not as steep for the beginners. Although maybe not as challenging as Borovets, would you say that there is a nice even progression through the stages?.
Lying on a cold table, having the nurse look up the leg of your boxers while in a state of shock is something I'd rather not do again
........Errol Flyn would have worried.

re: The devil makes work.....
The only thing is though... you do get a bit bored of the green after doing it all day...Up the 3 man chair to the top, down to the mid station, up the 4 man, back down again - lunch at the mid station then down to the bottom.
Up the 3 man chair to the top and all the way back down again. Finish for the day
Borovets was more varied, but we were a slow group for the first couple of days and that didn't really help.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............................I don't know, is it better to be boring, and enjoy the full week?, or go for it, and possibly surprise yourself at how good you are, or maybe how quickly they dealt with your insurance details?
I suppose the easy thing for me to do, is shut up and let everybody tell me what they want to do.
Hey ho
let you know what gets decided

Best watch out if little fleety finds out you'll get you legs slapped re: The devil makes work.....
Tut! Tut! Phil,The Pink Pamper must have known that he was going to be in trouble the first time he saw himself in the mirror wearing that suit - there again maybe he hasn't seen himself yet
I'm sure Angie must have warned him!The old rev counter up to 316 already - very popular!!
You old Devil You

re: The devil makes work.....
PhilJust thinking again about your comments re Pamps and thinking about how quiet it seemed. Judith took these photos on the Saturday when presumably alot of the holiday makers went home.
Judith, were the slopes busier at other times??
