Hi Janice
Off to Pamporovo 23rd just take warm clothes nothing to fancy and sensible foot to walk around in.
Not to sure about Borovets butI know in Pamps pre booking your ski packages before you go was much more cheaper.
Have a great christmas.

re: first time

you can wear any thing but would recomend good footwear very icyin boro.

re: first time

Is there any advice you can give us on anything its all new to us

re: first time

Hi

Deffinatly pre-book your ski package though your tour opperator, it'll cost twice as much in resort.

In the evenings, just wear your clothes you'd where here, but wrap up a bit warmer. Decent footwear is a must, the roads and paths can get a bit icey, especaily at night! Boots are best, with a good tread and water resistant.

You'll have a great time, and the snow forcast is good!
Enjoy!

Garry.

re: first time

When I first went to Borovets I was very surprised at how people got dressed up in the evenings. I had never been skiing before and was unsure of what to wear. Lots of people dressed in their party wear on christmas day and I felt very casual. In the evenings wear what you usually wear when going to the pub for a meal etc. As for ski packages you will pay alot more than you see in the borchures. I hope you have a great holiday.

re: first time

Thanks for that
Bit worried about ski school one of our passengers as decided to have it last minute and our tour operators as said its too late

re: first time

Bars are all very warm so you don't need jumpers etc at night just a good coat for walking in between the bars.

re: first time

Was in Boro last year everything very casual don't need to dress up just warm. Have a good time
