Im sure you wont have any problems but if in doubt then make sure you have good insurance incase pistes are closed. At least then you might be able to get something back.

Failing this as the tour op for your money back and book a last min to france. :wink:

Ian, maybe some of us feel the cold a bit more becasue we are fitter and are more efficient skiers so don't expend as much energy :twisted:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Matt23 i have never been to Bulgaria skiing for this exact reason. I watch the reports quite frequently and the same seems to happen every year with Bulgaria. Last year it was very late before they reported any snow, and when i say late i mean compared to french/austrian resorts etc.

When are you going? Does your tour op offer protection for your holiday against no snow, if not insurance?

On a more positive note i have a friend who went a couple of yrs ago and he told me there was tons of the stuff. Sit tight and it will come. :D

Coundldn't agree more Trencher. My jacket and trousers are just shells with a soft fleece linning/backer. There new for this season so i havent had the pleasure of finding out yet how warm they actually are.

Until now i alsways just wore cheap thermals with maybe a fleece under my jacket but like Ally says i found i got too hot too quickly and this clothing didnt do a very good job of breathing properly so whenever i stopped for a drink on the mountain the inside of my jacket felt wet/damp.... This isnt ideal when you then have to set off in minus temps...

Ive never worn morino wool as a base before so it will be interesting to see exactly how warm and breathable they are. There not exactly cheap items of clothing but im a believer of you get what you pay for.

1 word. MINT :D

I wish i could do a season...

Hi all,

Ive been wondering just recently what people wear to keep themselves warm whilst on the slopes. I know peoples preferences are different i myself dont like to feel bulky and so i was wondering what you guys wear to keep warm?

I have been and bought icebreaker bodyfit leggins and long sleve crew T today to use as base layers. If i wore these with another icebreaker 320 midlayer will this be sufficent in cold conditions worn under my jacket and trousers...

If there are any icebreaker experts on this forum id love to hear from you as the staff i spoke to today at ellis brigham were well pretty useless to say the least. :(

Are there any products out there that perform better than icebreaker, if so what are they?

Lets hear your thoughts. :D

Thanks Dave and so i hear..... Im not too bothered about that tbh, it will be my 2nd trip and as a result needed to be cheap, so a small price to pay i think for an extra weeks ski :D

Looks like it will be the first lift up and last down each day then... Oh well.

Thanks for the info. )
