Thanks for the info. This will be our first time in Bulgaria. Ironically my daughter got altitude sickness last year in Italy and we picked Pamps for this reason, stupidly didn't consider lack of snow. We are both intermediate, was the snow any better further up?
I'm glad you made the best of it. Looking on the forum people are starting to complain more about the resort. We have always found you get good and bad in every resort.

Still some sking on blues and reds and black but they are getting battered every day , really hope it snows for your trip , also i wouldnt bother with the ski instructor show not much atmosphere , the BBQ restaurant and the Italian rest are worth a visit and reasonably priced

NEWGUY. Completely agree with you about the staff and service in Alex's Bar. Our ski instructor introduced us to it on the first day and we went there for lunch and drinks every day. Staff were friendly, food was good and hot and they never, ever tried tor rip you off. In fact, they totted up the bill in front of you every time.
