Bulgaria Ski discussion board

borovets : where at the hotel rila they have to have security on the entrance to the lifts in the hotel, i know i was there, to put it in a nice way , women of the night in the hotel lobby trying to get trade, kids begging outside the hotel along with the skinny stray dogs (which i feel sorry for) and as you walk to the bars the first thing you see is a mans private part up in lights over one of the bars. do u want to take kids there.
the skiing : crowds for the lifts poor snow cover ,rocks coming through , instructors that cant speak english and cant afford to live in the summer. also beggers in the capital.
i know i was there and i am a level 3 casi (canadian instructor ) there wont tell u this , go there because its cheap and thats all.
this is mt first and last post enjoy your season

Poor snow cover? Wonder which day that was. May June time perhaps.

I've skied most runs in Borovets (having visited several times over the past few years) and have only really found poor cover at the end of the day on high usage areas where traffic becomes congested. (Did snarfacus try the road out of town I wonder.)

But in fairness, tell me which resorts don't have an occcasional period of snow famine!

I recall skiing in Austria acouple of years ago when conditions were green and brown while conditions in Borovets were quite all white.

Presumably, as a level 3 Instructor, one would know when to step out of ones skis and walk into a bar.

Besides, isn't CASI the Canadian association of Snowboard instructors. Thought Canadian ski instructors belonged to the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance. Oh well - we live and learn.

So how did Snarfacus (Possibly from a rare latin dialect meaning: useful tool like thing in lights hanging over a bar.) arrive at the conclusion that the instructors don't speak English - was he taking lessons?

Well, I've said my piece.
