Hi all have had this store kindly recommended for cheap package whilst in Borovets, anyone got any knowledge of the shop/owner, i.e is he reputable/reliable to book with from the uk for 7 sets of boards and boots and passes??

I hope so! I'm booking with him too and he's offered to collect me on the sundat am from my Hotel. So if I'm not on this board after the 30th of Jan, I've been kidnapped!!He seems to have a good name with people here.

Top chap!!
We used his ski school last year - he was the only person happy to help independant travellers actually. We remembered that the Albena Ski School had looked after the children in the Inghams Kindergarten the previous year which is why we contacted him.
The skies and boots were excellent. They were great with the children. Nick our instructor had limited English but was a great help to me - I was on my own with the kids as Simon skiied in a more advanced group. Carried ...

Val was as good as his word and didn't change any of his verbal agreement.
Say Hi! and send him my kind regards.
Have a great time!!

Please try not to worry! Val runs a ski school not a back hander dodgy joint!! As you have dealt with him before arriving in resort you are deemed to be pre booking your pass etc and he can therefore make arrangements with Borosport before you arrive.
You pay him on your first morning. Last year a lady from Borosport came down and he passed our cash on to her and hey presto!! Legitimate pass, no problems, great deal. I really can't imagine it won't be the same for ...

By the way he has to purchase from Borosport as they own all the slopes and lifts in the resort. I imagine he keeps some commission for himself - foolish if he didn't when trying to run a business. It just goes to show though what a cut our lovely UK travel agents take - bigger than Val's I imagine!
I really hope you have a great time. We did and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
Hope this helps, ask more if you wish
