Hi Snowcannon / Vicki

I'm staying at the Snezhanka, the hotel part, half board, how about you???

I booked through Crystalski and all my group got the free lift pass offer!

My £302 includes everything for me, board carriage, hotel, lift pass, etc etc etc


The people in my group who are hiring had to pay £344 each, as they are hiring snowboard boots and boards so it was a little more, i just had to pay the £30 to take my own board on the plane


will probably book ...

re: pamps

re: pamps

Darren I do know the hotel but have own appartment so not stayed there myself. From talking to people on the lifts though at begining of Feb, there are very mixed reports. Mainly about the food not being very good. But as I say this is only what others have told me.
No idea about beer price I'm afraid.
Hope you have a good time.

When i booked online I paid £30 for the board carriage, i'll have my board, boots, bindings, and jacket in my board bag. I'd contact crystal now if you have a board or ski bag to take with you

From reading here, they had a very bad couple of weeks where i rained, but lately ...

From reading here, they had a very bad couple of weeks where i rained, but lately its been really good conditions with quiet slopes

aslong as theres not large amounts of rain i think were in for a treat, quiet slopes, maybe no fresh snow but there'll still be plenty, maybe just a little hardpacked in places
