Must remember the alka seltzer!re: Top Tips
1. Ski as much as possible during the day (you'll regret it after if you dont)2. Drink as much as possible during the evening
3. Err.... Drink as much as possible during the evening!
re: Top Tips
4. I always try to get a few hours sleep from 5-8 so I am ready for the night!5. Use hot water 1st thing in the morning or asap after finishing on the slopes, leave it till around 6-7 and it may be all gone!
6. Make sure you report back to this board when you get back as there are a lot of anxious people who read it regularly - some re-assurance would go down well!

If it's Bulgaria....More than 3 I know but....
First :
Suspend your understanding of what you would consider to be ‘normal’ by UK standards….face it – not everything in the UK is world-beating and can be used as a yardstick against other countries.
Second :
Enjoy the wonderful experience of another country and culture – YES you are primarily there to ski but while you are there – why not scratch the surface and find out a little bit more about Bulgaria and its traditions and cultures ...

Third :
Accept that (just like the UK) not everyone is perfect!! Not every Bulgarian will welcome you with open arms – just like there are Brits who are not overwhelmed to welcome visitors to the UK!! But most people are proud that you have travelled so far to visit their country!
Fourth :
Bulgaria is DEVELOPING as a country – this is important – they have had one hell of a time in their history and have done an amazing job to get where they are today. They are learning fast – so give a little slack now and then!
Fifth :
Your ‘resort reports’ are very important to people on this board – opinions and updates on the weather/slopes are invaluable BUT try and stay objective and DO NOT generalise – you wouldn’t clump all Brits together so try not to do it with Bulgarians.
