I am wanting to go snowboarding in Jan 07 but am unsure which resort to choose. I went to Pamporovo last year and learnt most of the basic skills (yet still need to master turning one way!) My other half has mastered more than me. Not sure whether to stick to Pamps or move onto Bansko. If Bansko is the better resort - what hotels are in walking distance to the nightlife?
Also, is there anywhere to buy snowboard boots (I have the rest!)
Bansko is ment to be really good for boardin, i'm goin in feb and have done a lot of looking in to it. we're stayin at the lion hotel and its close to everything. As for boots i'd get them from ebay i got a pair of really nice burton boots for £35. (they're about £135 new!!!)
Boots are the one piece of kit that you should be prepared to fork out for. If you must buy them from ebay try the same brand in a shop first and make sure they fit you and are comfortable.
