After many many trips to borovets last night did the night skiing. Piste bashed nicely we left it till 1900 and had a most amazing ski. Went faster than ever before. Then had a blast down all the unlit runs which due to the constant show was boot deep powder... Happy days or nights in this case.
Being a bit of a drinker getting a pm pass and a night pass for the same cash makes me winder why i havent done this more often
Today going up top this afternoon. Lunch in the white house then ...

Forgot to add my friend vlady thought the big ski jump for the demos was open... Until to late to realise the stop netting was buried under the snow so a big crash!!!!!!! Was very fuuny as unhurt did he redeemed himself by skiing all the way down under the 4 man rila chairlift!!!!!!

We went to Boro in Jan and did the night skiing. Thought it was one of the best highlights of the week!We were like you n have been to Boro a few times n wonder why we haven't done it before.
re: borovets night skiing
Another vote for buying the night pass here.For 22lev I think its quite good value (I guess you could argue that it should be included in the price of the 6 day pass) - freshly groomed empty runs
Will definately be doing a couple of times next time we go...
re: borovets night skiing
Hoping to go tonight. I prolly wear my head cam, so if you see a teletubby say hello!re: borovets night skiing
Did it. Nice and empty runs but much harder surface than I was expecting but then again it was starting to ice up. Therein lies the problem.... I had one little slip on run 2 which seemed no problem at the time but actually twisted my back to the point but by the time I was finishing run 3 meant I could only side slip down the bottom of the piste.
Painful night - hardly able to stand up. I've not skiied today, been x-rayed in the Samokov prison (hospital) and certified as fit to ski ...

Painful night - hardly able to stand up. I've not skiied today, been x-rayed in the Samokov prison (hospital) and certified as fit to ski but I need more pain killers than a pharmacy warehouse as well as a granddad back brace.
Did I enjoy it - 7/10 before the slip. But not worth it in the long run for me as conditions today were superb and I couldn't ski.
Went ski-dooing though and will hopefully ski tomorrow.

We tried the night ski on the boards last night for the experience! It was nice and empty but a bit icy!
I didn't realise we would be the only beginners/intermediates on the slope though as ALL the skiiers seemed to be taking a racing stance and racing line down the slope! Where as a few late nights for me and a seriously sore coccyx left me taking my time- as i didnt want to make it any worse on the ice! Just made me feel in the way a bit though! I'm certain 2 skiiers didn't see me untill ...

I'm certain 2 skiiers didn't see me untill the very last second as well! Was a bit hairy! So overall a good experience but would wait untill i felt i could carry lots of speed all the way down before doing it again!
