Get yourself some thermal underwear ie long johns & vest. Although it is warm out there at the moment, it can be bloody cold. I was there 3 years ago and the temperature went down to -23. You don't really need a fleece. Better with a number of thin layers underneath ski wear. Also get yourself a lift pass holder. It attaches to your coat and retracts in and out on a cord. Simple but saves hunting in your pockets at every lift.

Base layer
Helmet
Mitts (warmer than gloves when very cold)
Lip protection
Shoes/boots with good traction (ice is slippery!)
Lift pass holder

As the lift passes are read by a scanner you do not need a lift pass holder - it can be read from your pocket.

We didn't scan our passes last year in Borovets, had to actually put them into the machine.
