Had good tuition from Nikki, instructor and progressed to black slopes by end of week. Great to ski from top of Gondala, only queues busy!
Skidooing a good laugh, especially in the dark
A good week had. Would I return? Definately yes, but not to the Olymp

Nice to read a positive report always! Did you find the snow cover bad on the pistes?

Snow cover on the pistes varied. we had several really good days and a couple of icy days. Sun came out towards the end of our stay. I hope that it snows a lot for all those going shortly. If it does, you will have a great time

Stuart was also our rep and totally useless.
The first day he didn't even have our lift passes and equipment vouchers etc so we had to meet him the next morning in the olymp where he told us that Bobby had them in the Samakov - she was brilliant but he was crap absolutely no help at all and others in our hotel said exactly the same about him.

Other than that Borovets was quality and we've already booked for next Feb Very Happy
