ski packages in borovets

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
skis=£39
boots=£25
tuition=£71

Alternatively there is a 'learn to ski' package for beginners for £96 including all the above plus 4 hours per day tuition. I'm no rocket scientist but the package comes in at £21 under getting a pass and equipment separately. Can anyone tell me whether there is an intermediate ...

Can anyone tell me whether there is an intermediate package available or if the groups are split up into beginners and intermediate when you get out there anyway?

thanks

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!

thanks for that Noodles - I'm going 22nd Jan for a week. Went skiing in Pamporovo last year which was a blast. Counting down the days already (36 to go!).

May all your runs be powdery.

Last year we found the groups really good and flexible. Kids went into ski school and wife and I went into beginners. After a couple of days I found I was doing better than expected (I had skied but not for about ten years) and they were happy to put me in with another intermediate group. Also kids got a bit fed up with ski school and our beginners instructor was happy to take them into the group (we did ask the others in the group if they were OK first), kids ended up skiing better than a ...

Also kids got a bit fed up with ski school and our beginners instructor was happy to take them into the group (we did ask the others in the group if they were OK first), kids ended up skiing better than a couple of the adults. So yep, you do get graded but they are pretty flexible and easy going.

Hi Tim,
you should book your ski package before you go,this is a MUST,it'll cost you much more if you pay when you get there....

re: ski packages in borovets

Can someone tell me how to book ski packages before we go, as we are going independently and bulgariaski will not help.
