Rivlington Alpine? If the fitter is any good they won't sell you anything if it isn't right for you so go take a look at end of season bargains but don't be upset if you are sent away without buying anything.

Mine have their own kit as we go to Tamworth fridge quite often, never loose much on skis or boots (and with a bit of good timing sometimes make a profit) selling on on Ebay once grown out of.

Tried a pair a few weeks ago and had great fun so if you have some gathering dust get in touch!

Protec girls impact shorts, size in the label is a rather unhelpful 'womens youth' but Emily decided they were too small for her a few weeks ago as a pretty much average size 12 year old. Good condition, only a weeks use plus occasional trips to the Tamworth Fridge.
£20 + post at cost for cheque, happy to take paypal if you will cover the fees.

Basic blue snowboard boots, nothing fancy like a removable liner but my little snowboarder says they did the job fine. Brand is Freestyle, size label says US 5, UK 4.5 and Euro 37.5 but in reality I'd say they are about just under a UK 4 given Em's feet measured exactly 4 just after she said they were too small.
£10 (cheque preferred given paypal's fees but paypal OK if you cover the fees) plus post at whatever it costs to wherever you are.

Martinovi Baraki 1 is the blue (MB 2 and 3 are reds off it), the green part is the bottom end of the Royal Residence (which is a pain at the top, lots of uphill). The Musala Pathway is a better bet if you want a long green, some flat sections to skate or pole but no real uphill.
http://www.skidvd.co.uk/images/borovetspistemap.jpg will give you an idea what I'm talking about.

There is also the trackway that comes down from the Rila chair, a nice wide blue from the chair, a little steep at the top but flattens into a nice wide cruising run, follow that ignoring the turn offs to the (very nice when you are ready for them) reds to a slightly tricky corner onto the trackway. Then it is green all the way back to the bottom or several options of red and blue to drop back down.

I didn't think any of the blues were particularly steep or difficult, sort of mid blue standard of the West European Alps. It was half term when we were there, yep huge queue first thing to get up to the top but nothing much on the chairs or drags.
