I would like to know as well :)
We spent around 2500 for a holiday in Austria, February midterm, 2 adults, 2 children (daughter is 5yo which means she gets many things for free there), no lessons, driving from Bristol ) Didnt enjoy the driving part ... :(

Enjoyed the video! Well done!

Indeed I had the same feeling this season, skiing together with the children. It was first time for my daughter. Tried last 2 years to teach her but failed. So it was her first proper ski season.

Going there next week. Snow and temp below the zero

We are experimenting this year in Austria. Booked a chalet near Zams. Planning to go skiing there, Serfaus and Pitztal. Usually I'm a conservative person, don't like changes, especially when I have small children with me. My 5yo just started skiing on a dry slope and taking her to Pitztal... At least the place where we are staying is small and quiet, as i like it :) Hopefully everything will be alright!

Got bored skiing in Bulgaria. I can ski with closed eyes in Borovetc, not sure about Bansko, because they changed it so much :( And u cant compare the ski experience in Bulgaria with Switzerland, Italy or the Alps generally. Summer holidays in Bulgaria, winter holidays in Bulgaria. My kids got bored, what about their born and bred Bulgarian mother :) Dont wanna mention all the friends and relatives there that we have to meet otherwise they will take it very personally. And i want just a quiet holiday!
These are some of the reasons why one Bulgarian wouldnt go ski in Bulgaria this winter ;)

Borovec – Bansko
Costs 17.90 EUR
Toll 0.00 EUR | Petrol 12.90 EUR | Road tax 5.00 EUR
Time02h23 wich 00h00 on motorways
Distance138 km wich 0 on motorways

No motorways the road might be narrow.
New year is the busiest period! Many Bulgarians go skiing for the holidays, add the Russian and Greek tourist ... hopefully on 3rd of January they will be back to work :)
