Bulgaria Ski discussion board

dont know about snowboarding as iam a skier prefer to spend only a small part of the day on my backside not all of it was talking to two boarders last year whos friends were beginners and were having private lessons there was two of them in the lessons and was costing them £15 each for 4 hours a day, they were coming along realy well. havent stayed at the hotel bulgeria but if i remember right it is very close to both the town and the slopes and went into the lobby/bar area and looked realy nice, sure you will get a reply from someone who has stayed there. on the whole I like bansko better than pamps the slopes are more challenging and there are a lot of chair lifts rather than drag lifts which i have been told is better for boarders.

Went to Pamps in 2005 and had a great time - instruction was superb and the slopes were tip top (apart from a few areas down the mountain when you had to walkf for a while).
Did Bansko this year - the village is much better - much more to do but I would say that (overall) the slopes a little more challenging and badged strangely (a couple of blues are definitely red!!). Didn't quite enjoy the whole experience as much as Pamps....maybe down to the fact that we lost 2 whole days to windy conditions. One of the reasons we chose Bansko was to avoid flying to Plovdiv ....
