Think Everest is quite high, but the drag lift is very long Wink

Easter is leaving it a bit late (23rd March 200Cool for skiing in Bulgaria but you should be OK. If you are a competent skier I would suggest Bansko - otherwise Pamporovo and Borovets are easier and about the same snow record.

oopps going to disagree here pete, Borovets for beginners and advanced , for intermediates then bansko, the pistes in Bansko are not as hard as a lot of the reds in Borovets Razz theres a good comparison on the 'other side' under bansko vs borovets vs bansko Booze

Poor old Pamporovo - doesn't get a look-in.

Most opinions on here Fraser see Bansko as more for competent skiers with the other 2 better for beginners.


Maybe you disagree (no probs with that mate) but that's the general opinion.

poor old pamps Wink, have to say having done Bansko as well this year pete, its def not the place for advanced, reckon i could mamge about two days there before getting really bored, the 'Tomba' the black is not as hard as two or three of the reds in Boro. A lot of it is down to the fact that Bansko is really good at preparing their pistes that it takes a lot of the challenge away, no danger of that in Boro........ Booze Booze Booze so you know where youve got to try next year, hear there might be ...
