we are going to borovets staying at the rila on the 17th jan, my husband is looking to replace his board, bindings and boots, can anyone tell me what brands are available and what sort of cost would he be looking at, or what is the rental equipment like and again costs,re: borovets snowboarding equipment
i bought a whole set up last feb burton board boots bindings and got a flimsy burton bag thrown in for about 300 quid. There is a small wooden cabin style shop in the resort on the main street about 1 min from the rila, apparently the guy that owns it is the sole distributor for burton in the country also has a shop in sofia. Last year was my first time and i initially hired kit, having nothing to compare it to i didnt think it was too bad!!? also didnt have to pay carriage on my board ...

Last year was my first time and i initially hired kit, having nothing to compare it to i didnt think it was too bad!!? also didnt have to pay carriage on my board for the return trip so saved a few quid there too..made a point of wrapping gaffer tape around my bag to identify at reclaim as nearly everyone else had bought from the same shop and had the same bag... would recommend purchasing at the start of the week for better choice(boot sizes) have a good haggle too!! they will also do a proper service on your existing kit for about a tenner overnight
