re: borovets ski lifts

We've booked the learn to ski pack for last 6 years and until this trip the lift pass gave access to all lifts. This year we had to upgrade at a cost of 76lev each in resort so that could use the yastrabets lift and the 4 man chair infront of the Rila. You can ski everywhere on the restricted pass but it does mean extra pushing.
As we've been before we didn't read the small print when booking the ski pack.
Would recommend anyone going out to change before they go as much cheaper and ...

They say it's to keep inexperienced skiers off the more difficult runs!

Still good value and great skiing.

I'm sorry but I still don't get it. I understand the reasons why they might introduce something like this and there are plenty of people who take a learn to ski package from a tour operator to save a little but with nursery slopes on the top of the gondola and on top of the Rila (left hand lift next to the black) you can ski almost everything from from those two points.

We paid the extra 76 lev... but we got a refund from neilson... based on the fact some beginners can ski on the yasterbrets etc... They have now changed the wording in the brochures and website

re: borovets ski lifts

Confused....no drag on Marky 2 - it's a 4 man....and no they can't which is a problem as the beginners do this loop normally by end part of the week and normally get the 4 man up to the top and then ski across the to the Suhar (not down marky 2 or 1) to avoid the double drag on Marky 1... Now they can't do that on a beginners pack...

re: borovets ski lifts

If beginners lift pass doesnt cover the 4 man lift in front of rila this means that learners cant ski the blue run at the top or the green run that starts from there. This seems very unfair to beginners.
