back from borovets

we just got back from boro! had a good time but was a shame that a lot of runs were closed, we walked up to the top of rila slopes and there was no way enough snow to open them. the main trouble with the holiday is the cash points were down so next time we will take cash out.
the lift ques were huge so get up early and have a fews hours up the top in peace then come down and chill all day. all in we had a fab time and our kids loved it, just can't wait to get back in feb and pray for more ...

would need a lot to open rila slopes!! there is lots of snow right outside the rila but most is from the snow canons which are on 24 7 then they spread it about! by feb there will be loads of snow and all the runs will be open, hope so cuz we back there on the 17th of feb.

SmileHave just also come back from Borovets, first time Skiing ever with my family, had a great laugh we were lucky there had been Snowfall before we arrived, but I must admit it was icey on the Slopes at times which was frustrating when you are first learning, the lower slopes were always busy and the queing for the drag lifts was a pain, so many people on the Slopes, but the Sun was shining and we were having fun, it had snowed on Friday night 29th Dec, and our Ski Instructor at the Samokov ...

Thanks Dido for Teaching us all to Ski... Ali.!
