borovets ski lifts

Hi - I am planing on booking my ski vacation to go to Borovets and I have a few questions:
1) Are the ski lifts all open these days?
2) Are all the ski lifts covered by the same ski pass? or is it zoned?
3) Is the Yanakiev Hotel a good choice for a family? Is the indoor-pool open?

Thanks much for your help!!!

1. All except one at the moment but it depends on conditions.
2. All lifts in the resort of Borovets are covered by the one pass but you will need another pass for night skiing

Note to all previous trippers.
you can no longer buy a begginers ski package and access all areas of the mountain.

Is that for real DBUT? How do they police that as there are Nursery slopes on Rila and Musala?
Mind you if that is the case, it's likely to be people using a tour operator who pull that one and will pay the penalty.

They have made it so the pass only works on certain lifts. The pass will get you up the gondola but only work on the button at the top not the 4 man.

Dbut is right but it's the same price to buy a ski pack that has ski school ski hire and lift pass that covers all lifts and days but no night skiing. Just don't get a beginners pass they never check a boro sports when they put you in school anyway

Thanks for the info!

One of our group has got the beginner snow boarding pack is that the same? She may want to switch back to skiing which she is more experienced at. Def for the lock in.....

Presumbly they would just have to pay the diff?

re: borovets ski lifts

I think it applies to all beginner packs but in not sure
