i need to know where to go for a ski holiday, i will be booking the holiday in 48hours. i am travelling on the 10th of jan for 1 week.i have the option of going to any of the 3 resorts.
i am a party of 2 men, 26 years old, we would like a night life, a tidy town, nice places to eat, good slopes for beginer and intermediate, would like the slopes to have some scenery rather than being a plain blanket of snow on a downhill run.
all advice will be appreciated in helping me decide.

Well, I guess that would rule Bansko out, I love the place but others complain the night life is dull compared to the other two destinations, it has a rustic charm to it's smoky town, plenty of meat on a stick sort of places to eat, we went HB on our 2nd trip after trying the local cuisine the first time around and enjoyed not having to find somewhere each night. I don't think it's such a great place for a beginner, gondola up then gondola down for your first few days at least, if the snow ...

I don't think it's such a great place for a beginner, gondola up then gondola down for your first few days at least, if the snow is good there is a fab ski road / gentle slope all the way back to town which is a joy, I think intermediate and above have far more fun in Bansko than beginners.
I'm sure plenty of advice will flood in.

thank you snik, i will cross off bansko then,so its between boro and pamps. come on people, educate me. ive read all the reviews and comments on this site, but i just can't make my mind up. both sound like they have good night life but borovets may steal it as people are going on about chillie pepers and other good restaurants etc. but what the slope differences like
re: pamporovo/borovets or bansko?
For scenery and beginners/intermediate - Pamporovo is the place.re: pamporovo/borovets or bansko?
ok great. but is bor better for night life.and is nightlife in pamps good or medioka compared to boro

Shayne,
Probably your and my opinion on what a night life is to be differs very much? I am an expert skier and prefer to ski in Borovets (I like to ski Pamporovo if I am inclined to be lazy on the piste and not to really strain myself alone or with the children) while after a hard day on the slopes I take it easy - a pool, a massage, a light dinner, few drinks and then to bed. If you want to hit the bars until the small hours of dawn the nightlife is more or less the same in the three ...

I think Borovets will be bestThe night life is a lot better, Plenty of bars and places to eat. Pamp is quiter in the evening
Try to book into Iglika Palace, nice quite hotel near to the slopes

Never been to boro but at Pamps you can have a good knees up, heared the same about Boro too
re: pamporovo/borovets or bansko?
Off to pamps for the 5th year this year and love it and as for nightlife am with Michelle on this one we have crawled home very late lol especially after the bar crawl Never been to Boro so can't comment but you wouldn't catch me moving. Have a fab time wherever you end up.
