bulgarian resorts

How does Panps and Bansko compare to boro.

I went to Borro in Jan and the conditions were brilliant. Howvever, I thought the skiers in Boro were dangerous, lots of people who looked like beginners but without instructors flying down the slopes taking people out. (I guess you get a lower standard of skier in a cheap resort). The Hotel I stayed in was pretty poor aswell (Hotel Mura).

Try Bansko. We had a great time there. Also earlier in the season someone went down a run much too fast and knocked another skier into the ditch. For this he had his lift pass removed for the rest of the day and had to eat humble pie the next day to get it back.

Well done Bansko.

Very Happy

I'll back Val up. Bansko is great. Cheaper than Boro. Most of the hotels are new or refurb. The locals are great and its without doubt the best skiing in BG. New lifts, slopes are groomed perfectly. I'm a fussy bugger and I loved it.

I think Val and Kiwi1 have got it covered, just an extra point, inexperienced skiers are in all resorts (in my experience), i am afraid that is how it is, everyone has to learn, some the hard way. To have some sort of regulation on the slopes in principle is a good idea from a safety angle but it would depend to what level it was policed...
