1 Jacket and 1 sallopets will be fine they dry very quickly. Whatever your usual dress is at night will be fine,everywhere is very casual. Mind you high heals and snow/ice is not a good mix Wink

I'm off to borovets on 12th jan!

I go boarding, and only need one jacket and one sallopets, and one set of gloves. Take few pairs of tracksuits bottoms and different t-shirts for underneath in case one hasnt dried properly for next day - but stuff usually drys in time anyway.

As for night life is usually pretty casual in these types of places, i usually wear a shirt and jeans, but anything goes.

Hi helbel, you will only need one pair of pants, jacket and gloves. take a pair of thermals just incase but last year i didn't wear mine as it was too hot! take tshirts and thin fleeces for during the day or hoodies, and a good girly tip is to take a sports bra, nothing worse than losing your straps underneath all those layers!!
for night time just jeans, good grippy boots and nice tops are fine most places are very warm inside so you won't need big jumpers or anything! layers are the ...

for night time just jeans, good grippy boots and nice tops are fine most places are very warm inside so you won't need big jumpers or anything! layers are the way forward Very Happy hope that helps a bit!

re: gear for ski-snowboarding

I wear thin polo neck under my suit, keeps any draughts off the neck. and thermal leggings.

You'll only need one suit, I usually travel wearing my ski jacket and snow boots, saves space in the case.

You won't need Jumpers, the Hotels are red hot, but wear layers for the mountain, because when the Sun goes in it can be freezing. I usually take my small camelback for emergency drink and put a scarf in, if you're warm you'll enjoy it more.


Very Happy

re: gear for ski-snowboarding

timberland boots or similar, no point tottering round in high heels at all!! ski holidays are about being comfy and having a good time, not a holiday to go on if you want glamour Very Happy
