march 19th borovets

I am going ou to borovets neaxt week for the first time, but am now begining to think that my first ski trip will be a disaster...ie no snow.
having persuaded my family to come along I think I might well be in the dog house next week.
I will have 2 kids with me aged 13 and 11 how the bloody hell am I going to keep them occupied. Does anyone know what else we can do as a family in the resort apart from swim.
Any suggestions would be very welcome

Anyone else in the same boat?

Hey Mark,

Just got back from boro (12th), the sun was out and only counted 4 clouds in the sky. The snow was coming off the roofs fast, but im sure you will be fine.

There are bars at nights, but i guess thats not for the children... as most of them seem to have dancers in them, There are other activites like quad bikes and ...

There are bars at nights, but i guess thats not for the children... as most of them seem to have dancers in them, There are other activites like quad bikes and ski doos, and there is paragliding and stuff. not sure on the cost though.,

Dont worry, just keep checking the weater reports. Im sure you will find somehting to do, and the snow will still be there.

Mark, dont worry to much as you can never get bored. There are plenty of things to do even if you just go up on the gondola and have a walk about as when the sun comes out up there it gets hot, as i found out on the last day and i had some little blisters Confused i also went on the 5th and came back yesterday and the sun was out... the snow was melting but i think they were getting the snowcannons on the pistes so chances are you will be skiing. the is still plenty of snow and on the 7th it ...
