During peak times queue's are back beyond The Happy End and down into the building sites. This is now no longer a holiday but a cattle market. The queue jumpers make it a misery for those waiting. Once up on the mountains the skiing is good. Now booked for Canada in December. Will I go back?...Yes but only when the new gondala is ...

Not a chance!!!
Borovets was a dirty shithole and locals often did their best to rip you off. My ski instructor from Borovets ski school was a pompous arrogant soul who tended to forget that this was our holiday, not boot camp.
