Can't agree Brucie as the fact that him being off piste was the main cause of the accident.

Perhaps I should be looking for another trip 8)

Told only replace when all eaten up. After countless cheap beer we broke into restaurant that night and stole all the rolls we could find. Following breakfast hey presto fresh rolls. ...but by third day were all stale. They chained up the door after meals so we couldnt do it again!. Equipment hire worst ever. My mate was given 1 Blue Rossinal and one Red/Yellow Dynstar (no spelling mistakes, just a poor copy!) Hire company would not change and we spent the week skiing trying to find other pair for a laugh. Kebab shop op Hotel Rila left the "elephant foot" meat out all night. Got up for 1st lift and saw it encased with snow, ice being chipped off by owner and 20 mins later serving for breakfast to the brits abroad! My kids (now 12 and 16) loved their 2 trips to Italy when similar age to yours. The Italians respect families. Due to half term increase in cost (cant take kids out of school anymore!) this year having 2nd year running in Andorra. Snow is better as well in "proper" Europe! DONT DO BULGARIA!

I went around that time & also stayed in the Rila hotel & the food was awful as said, the brochure stated " don't expect hot meals as the Bulgarians eat only lukewarm food " we used to fill up on warm soup & rolls. The main course used to be in a showcase & seeing it put you off. Ski hire :evil: as I put mine on I noticed the metal edge hanging off, but they did change them -) had my own boots luckily. Very small skiing area but did like the Tiger bar with its 2 for one deal & everything was very cheap over there including new ski gear.

You will be with Wickers...it may take more than a few beers!! -)

Baldy you know as well as I do that the other 21 can't wait to meet and ski with me, they are getting so excited …. I better take off the wife and daughter as they know me and possible want me to stay at home !!!!! -) -)

Its true I cant wait to meet the Wicker man as I have never met a self proclaimed God before, his athletic structure alone my overwhelm the group somewhat :shock: , apart from that he says he will finance my addiction to alcohol during the trip 8)

Although there have been good dumps of snow 25-30cms on many recent occasions reported by J2 in snow & powder alarms for Folgarida the levels in the resort are still saying 40cm upper & 60cm lower which has been the same for many weeks.

Question: why have the levels not increased in the reports :?: :?:

These progs dont have a pulse, also applies to the actors :x
