That makes sense if only one was working because thats like thousands of ppl trying to get up onto the slopes at the same time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldnt have liked to be there !!!re: just back from boro any questions welcome
if the chair lifts are shut itis busy but when everything is open it spreads itself out! we hardly had to que up for the chair lifts but they dont go all the way to the top.re: just back from boro any questions welcome
Hi Rob,
It was my first time skiing 2006 with The Samokov Ski School, on 1st Day we beginners stayed on lower nursery slopes all Day, 2nd Day those who got up to go went up the Gondola to the top of the Yastrebetz, which has drag lift and a funny sort of conveyor belt to get back to the Gondola lift when you go home, it is pretty scary especially when it stops suddenly!, yes it's ok for intermediates up there, plenty of facilities and fantastic views, you can Ski down to the Middle ...
