re: WHATS THE DIFFERENCE

Two completely different resorts and each has their own merits. Both are very friendly and both great for beginners and intermediates.

Borovets - skiing is in two separate areas with the gondola access to one area and chair lifts to the other.

Pamporovo - skiing on the one main Snezhanka peak accessed via chairlifts, but Chepelare is 10km away offering a good day out elsewhere.

Borovets - hotels opposite the slope

Pamporovo - most hotels are approximately 3km from slopes. ...

Borovets - hotels opposite the slope

Pamporovo - most hotels are approximately 3km from slopes. Markony hotel is the only one opposite slopes.

Borovets - Snow cannons and night skiing right opposite the Rila hotel

Pamps - No snow cannons and no night skiing although there is lots of night life elsewhere.

Ski school is great in both areas, although I found my beginners group progressed much quicker in Borovets than in Pamps.

Lots of places to eat and drink in both resorts. Everyone has their favourite places.

I've been to Borovets in 2003, Pamps in 2004 and in 2005 I'll be back in Borovets.

I do share the sense of humour - I was just in the middle of writing when Carl put his response in first...

I recomment quitting the BBC and moving to Antarctica so you can go skiing all year round. Infact if we could persuade all skiers to go to Antarctica (nice place or so I've heard) then us boarders could have a free run at all the ski slopes whenever it snows again!

See? Too easy!

All that sun is getting to you isn't it. I luv my job (sometimes)... it's just my partner in crime is off today and it's, well, boring. Partner in crime - on Wednesday we found a mug and got it for the big boss - it was Mr Mean (The Boss) so yesterday we bought some Roses chocolates and presented them to her with a note on "From your Adoring fans".... see what mischief you can get up to when you work with a nutter...
