Hiya
I'm in an internet cafe in borovets right now. Got here saturday - staying at the olymp which is okay - not 5 star but is warm and clean!
Conditions at the moment are reat - it snowed sat and sunday when i got here which made the slopes real nice - plenty of fresh powder - but it hasn't snowed since so unless it snows soon, it could start to get icy. Resort is good. Plenty of nice places to eat and drink.

Slopes up the gondola are the best but drag lifts are crazy!!! Soooo fast and difficult for boarders (as we are).
So far eaten at Mamacitas (v. nice) and the red lion (don't bother).
Loads of erotica bars! Buzz bar is lively - although very smokey!
All in all, we're having a great time so take no notice of bad reviews.
Have fun!!!!

Amanda, your lucky, I couldnt get on line last week when I was out!
It was snowing when we left on the Sunday and had snowed all Saturday, which was needed for the icy (some sheet ice!) patches which made the slopes rather challenging at speed!
Glad to hear its great now, have fun

re: skiing in borovets

More 4 man chairs sounds good. I was there 2 years ago. Is it true that piste maps are in short supply? I've downloaded the one from this site but it looks the same as last time. Can any one clarify this please?
