Whats to do with kids in Pamps if pistes crap

Hi

I'm heading out to Pamps on 17th and a bit worried about the current discussions regarding the snow conditions. Anybody got any suggestions what else to do if no skiing. Im going with my wife and two sons (13 & 9).

I'm sure we'll hit the bars in the evening, but I don't think a week of non-stop drinking is the ideal upbringing for my kids.

We've also pre-booked ski lessons - what will happen there?? Or am I being a bit paranoid, are the conditions OK for beginners (2nd time ...

We've also pre-booked ski lessons - what will happen there?? Or am I being a bit paranoid, are the conditions OK for beginners (2nd time skiing) and just the experienced ones out there which are disappointed with the red and black runs (we haven'e done any of those yet!)

I reckon you should get a fair amount of skiing in so wouldn't panic too much. There are also toboggans, ringo's and bumboards must be snow somewhere for these activities. Also there is an ice rink in resort as well as bowling, arcades, pool tables and computer access plus most hotels have swimming pools. You won't get bored. I'm taking my 8yr old son out for our 5th visit for half term and we still haven't done it all. Enjoy your hol Very Happy Very Happy

Don't worry re snow. No its not perfect but should be ok for beginners and second timers. Ski school does take care of you. Swimming pools, 10 pin bowling , games arcades and toboggans as stated. Pamporovo is a fantastic family resort.

If your kids are looking for friends there are two school groups at the Snezhanka with approx 60 kids you're welcome to join in with our discos, ten pin etc although at 13 your oldest may not want to damage his street cred. Anyway I won't really know how things are until Sunday but I'm pretty certain our groups of 1st and 2nd year skiers will be ok.
