To save you getting ripped, like we did, if you need your ski's or board to be waxed and/or in Borovats, make your way to the lowest gondala station and walk past the entrance and along the road (so the gondala station is on your left). Take a left and there is a shop which charges a very low rate which is apparantly used by the instructors etc. Along this route you will also find the ATM machine.
Anywhere else we found was expensive.
Don't use the shop at hut No.7 (directly opposite ...

Don't use the shop at hut No.7 (directly opposite the gondala station) as they use this other shop to do their waxing etc. We found out the hard way.

How much did they charge...what type of job??re: Waxing and Edges
If its a board after last week you will need more than your edges and waxing doing. Mines in for a rebuild and I wish I was joking
But yes how much did you pay, then I can cry at how much I am having to pay now back here
re: Waxing and Edges
was it that bad on your board bro.... i think if conditions were that bad i'd go hire me one, i dont think its that expensive for the week..re: Waxing and Edges
Wax and edges were 15 levs from the shop I found later. That also included some minor repairs to fill minor scratches.The hut at No.7 by the gondala charged 60 levs..........robbing buggers!!!
re: Waxing and Edges
By the time I had done my first red it was that bad ...... seriously 
We just bit the bullet and said we would get it done at the end of the week.
I dropped mine off for a service this morning and when I rang later to get the verdict they were in stitches at the other end of the phone, They say although it is fixable they have never seen anything quite like it except the cats scratch post whatever that means? They usually do a board in 1 to 2 hours, They have quoted me 1 to 2 weeks ...

Cost should be about £40 as it requires what they call a major service, but have a free wax and service with them anyway so will be less. 15 lev would have suited me great
