Chris L,
I always advice this: if you are a 9 - 5 skier (skisnobs!) then Bulgaria is not the place..but if you like to ski, relax, have fun and enjoying a great aprèsski with lots of restos, bars and entertainment..
Go and try Bulgaria!
My hubby went to bulgeria this year 1st time, hes a total ski snob, only does the good resorts, he realy enjoyed it and found the prices on and off the slopes a refreshing change to the rip off prices he normally pays, says he would go back for the lamb alone, not sure what that says about the skiing!!!!! go and enjot it. What ever you are told about the food if you eat away from the hotels it is fantastic
