bring cash - or take with you ?

Hi all, going to Bulgaria in a couple of weeks, so have a few questions Smile

First of all is it euros or lev in bulgaria or both ?
Is it best to take sterling with you and change it over there, or take it with you ?

My uk bank exchange rate from GBP into lev is
£1 GBP = 2.7 lev

is this good, it has no commisson charge either.

What is the general cost for going on the slopes per day, ski lift, boots and skis ?

These answers are based on a trip to Borovets last week :-

Currency is Levs
You can get a better exchange rate in Bulgaria (2.8+) but be selective in which outlet you change your money make sure before the transaction that there is no commision or charges.

Cant remember the ski/lift charges as we had an all in package.
