Travel companies

Has anybody looking to go to pamporovo next week 10th - 17th spoke to their travel company about what happens if there is no snow *which is looking likely* have you had any joy? Or are they telling you theres going to be snow but the forecasts show eveything from sun to rain but no snow?? .....

re: Travel companies

Hi i called last night and was told that if there is no snow then we had to claim on insurance.

Tried to get changed but they say its to close to the holiday to do anything.

On the up side if you have good insurance then you should be able to get abour £190per person back, this can be used for next years holiday.

I know its not good, i hvae waited 17 years to go skiing again

There'll be snow - especially at the top of the mountains. Most of the forecasts you see are for the bottom of the mountain.

DON'T PANIC - it's happened all over Europe this season

I'm going to Pamps on the 10th, if there is snow at the top and you are able to ski I would'nt thought that the insurance would pay out, there would have to be no snow and all of the runs closed to make a claim??????

re: Travel companies

your insurance will only pay out if the whole mountain is closed and there is no skiing at all the travel agent should tell you this. last year in bansko the gondlas were shut due to high winds but the insurance wouldnt pay out as if you made alternative transport up the mountain you could have skiied!!!!!!!!!!
