I've just spoken to a rep at crystal about ski packages in borovets and was told the following: Separate hire of equipment / lift pass costs as follows
lift pass = £56

You will be assessed on your first morning and graded into groups, so you should be in a group of equal abilities, if you feel you are in a group that is to slow, or too quick, you can always ask to change!

So yep, you do get graded but they are pretty flexible and easy going.
