Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi all,

Back from Boro yesterday. Just wanted to put our thoughts down might be helpful or not to others!?

First off the snow conditions were perfect. Beautiful sunny days, loads of snow, very well groomed runs. Couple days of snow and crozy conditions at the top of the gondola, but all in all conditions perfect.

We travelled with Balkan, as we have done on a few previous trips and found them ok, upon arrival we were told "your not staying in the Olymp Hotel, your upgraded to the Iglika" We asked why, but none of the reps could tell us!? Wouldn't say it was an upgrade? Maybe in location, but the rooms were shabby and the showers/wetrooms were.....well wet to the point of being drowned. The communal areas of the hotel were nice, the pool was small and the table tennis cost extra but they are silly little things just saying!

Our main gripe was Ski School. Our instructor was AWFUL!! Worst I have ever had. Was in an intermediate group ranged from 2 weeks skiing and up, our instructor left us at the top of the gondola and told us to ski down as he had to go and sort out his girlfriend? He skied on his phone all the time, and only bothered to teach and guide those in the group he had a crush on. Needless to say our group went from 9 people to 4 and when we spoke to borosport and they shrugged and said so what!?

Borovets is a nice resort, good bars nice people. But everything seems to be owned by borosport? Our instructor refused to take us anywhere that wasn't run by Borosport, which we thought was a bit poor as in previous trips we have always gone to different places and seen some sights so to speak.

So all in all the trip was good, snow and skiing fab. Still very in love with Bulgaria but Borovets? Not for us, back to Pamps from now on.
