Hi there,
Christmas in Borovets is also buzy,but the Gondola is not the
only one choice.There are two 4-men chair lifts in the resort

hotels.See the map on www.thegecko4.tripod.com
Thanks

Hi Clare

There are 3 Yastrebets slopes which are close by but if you dont want to go up the gondola to access them you can jump in a cab. I know there are def snow cannons on 2 of the slopes so skiing there is usually ok.

Hope this helps
