Thanks Elaine. I'm off to Borovets on the 31st. Where do you recommend to eat and drink in the evenings, apart from the place you've already mentioned.

Did you have look at the shops?If yes, How were the prices of snowboards? Did they have latest models?

If you want a pepper steak see Christo at White Magic if you like mexican head for Mamacitas just below Rila towards Samokov, if you want the best Bulgarian go to The Skylark, e mail me for directions with where you are staying, other than that enjoy the whole place is magic, Booze

Katy's steak house opp Samakov was lovely food - Joy Bar nr Gondola was really nice food and nice clean place ! Franco's Pizza typically English but nice pizza and beer

Snowboards - boots & bindings about 250/300 sterling
If you live in North West place in Preston is great and cheaper - board boots & bindings and board bag 210 sterling - if you need any further info let us know

TIP - if its clear get up the gondola to the top early in week as we didn't and it was too windy and closed ...

re: just back from Boverts

What about the models of the boards!! Last year went to Pamps and they were selling models from 2-3 years before!!

Is it true that there is a halfpipe on the upper slopes? Question

Not sure if it has a web address

My fella's board is an Austrian one from there and he's been using it for 3 years now and finds it really good - they do have named boards there as well

Jackets etc also really good from there.

Not sure whether half pipe on top slopes as Gondola wasn't going that high !
