kids lessons

I'm off on friday 2 feb, can anyone recomend where to book ski lessons for children. We are planning to arrange it all when we get out there. We have a 4 year old and a 8 year old.

My youngest son has his 4th birthday when we get out there does anyone know if this will cause problems as he will actually be 3 for the first week.

Thanks

Interski, next door to the snowshack,which is at the side of the Hotel Marconi, do lessons. Pete and Andrea have it, she is English and he I think Bulgarian. We hired our skis from them in December and plan to on 10th February. They are offer a good fitting service and are very helpful and friendly. I can send the web link if you like.

Hi
just come back from bansko we had private lessons for our five year old we used Interski. The ski instructor is called George and has the patience of a saint - very good well recommended he speaks fantastic english and my little girl loved him - was about 100 levs for a two hour sessions.
We did use the ulen ski kindergarten but they dont take the children out for long and my daughter did not ski only sledged this was £15 from 9.30 - 3.30 lunch included - hope this helps

When i was in borovets the children's instructor didn't speak very good English so to try and get across what she was meaning she used her arms to try and explain. The children in the group misinterpretted this as her being angry with them and by day 3 all of the 12 children in the group had been taken out by there parents because they were getting upset. I'm not meaning to put anyone off but it may by useful explaining this to young children before they start.
