Bulgaria Ski discussion board

hi i have a few questions and some advice if anyone is interested.

1.went on the net this morn and calculated how much levs i would get for £300 in pounds and dollars....... to my surprise you get 20more levs with sterling which works out to 3.2 beers or 0.66 of a letre of vodka........mmmmmmmmm

2.Whats the score with lift a pass do i need to get a mug shot done???

3. ive heard a few reports about there being no snow..........oh crap!!! anyone know how the situation is?

4.how long are the runs? any good. im hopeing to take my skills to the next level!!

5.we are staying at the samokov any one else? or have u been b4 what do u rec?

6.women and wine!!! where are the places to go 4 a few cheeky ones???

OK, assume from reading your message you are off to Borovets...
So to answer your points...

1. Good knowledge and maths!! £300 will nearly kill you if you only treat it as beer money!! You can have a mental nightout, if you take advantage of happy hour and struggle to get through £20 or so....... 2 years ago I bought 18 bottles of beer (Astika) and 10 double vodka Red Bulls for £10..... get in!!!!!!!

2. No photo required

3. There is snow, a few rocks showing through on some of the runs according to reports and snow was forecast last night. Sure you'll be fine.

4. The runs are generally good, if conditios aren't great they they can be a ltlle limited but in all honesty I've never been bored and I class myself as Intermediate to good.

5. Never stayed at the Samokov but its very central, next to the Gondola and looks clean. The two big hotels are teh Samokov and the Rila. I always stay at the Rila.

6. Women and wine.... well Bulgarian women are stunning, the tourists are the same as anywhere else, you just have to keep your fingers crossed for some good lookers and if there aren't any then keep something else crossed!!!!! I love the Buzz Bar, its a stones throw from the Samokov, plays western music (not the line dancing type) and has great happy hours.... emphasis on he plural part here. Wear what you want, do what you want and get drunk....... brilliant fun!!!!!

(I'll be there again 20th - 29th Feb.... come on)!!!!!!
