how many days????

Well if you are under say 10 then it will be minutes. The little ankle bite'rs seem to pick it up so quick. before you know it they are skiing backwards and you still cant master forwards!!! Very Happy

No set time really Harry. It does depend on age a bit I suppose. You should be controling yourself quite comfortbly by day 3. But everyone is different. Hey you might be a master at the end of day 1? If you can make it from top to bottom of mountain by the end of the week under control and without ...

If you can make it from top to bottom of mountain by the end of the week under control and without killing anyone, then I would say mission accomplished. Very Happy

You will have a blast. Booze

Hi, we went there for the first time as first timers last year and I would say by the 3rd day we were feeling pretty confident! Fell a few times, back there again this year, getting out there on the 14th too!

Enjoy it and have fun!

Goggles are not just for going fast. If it is snowing hard goggles are ideal and much better than shades as the snow tends to get behind the lense. I take both though shades for those sunny days an goggles for the snowey ones. Make sure your buy 100% uva and try and get double glazed googles as they dont mist up as easy.

Goggles are a must for bulgaria really, not always clear blue skis. As for how quickly you pick it up. It's just natural some people get it really fast some take a little longer. Also it's not always the people who you expect to pick it up quicker who do. Although younger people tend to.
