Well I really pity anyone trying to ski at Borovets this week. They must be very disappointed, especially when there is so much snow around in the UK now!
Are they bussing people to other ski resorts in the vicinity, or is there no snow anywhere? Ally |

Sami,
I hope you can find a flight. It might be a bit difficult mid-week, because I think quite a few of the flights to and from regional airports are geared towards ski holidays, which usually start on Saturday. Otherwise you will have to go to another airport, maybe even Geneva, to find a flight. You might be better off sticking it out until Saturday, when at least you have a flight booked back to the U.K. Let us know if you find a flight home. Ally |

Sami,
I've just seen your latest. I'm so sorry for you. Enjoy your last ski today before you fly back tomorrow. Best Wishes Ally |

I have my supply of French books, so I suppose if I had an accident that meant I wasn't able to ski I could spend the week studying them. So far, the only serious accident I have had was on the dry slope before I left, and I was still able to walk (although not ski) so it wasn't too bad.
I also carry a whole supply of first aid stuff that I find useful on ski holidays - like voltarol gel etc. Ally |

Snowbandit,
We've got more snow here as well, but only about 1/2 an inch (I've just been out to measure it!). The problem is, we still have ice from before, underneath the snow, which makes driving and walking very dangerous. My daughter is very cross that I wouldn't buy her skis and boots, because otherwise she'd have been able to ski 2 miles down our road during the last week, on the snow. Our road looked exactly like one of those narrow blue runs - the sort that are roads in the summer. The day before yesterday, I actually took the public bus into town - the first time in nearly 40 years of living here, because of the snow and ice in our lane. I totally agree with you, the interview board must have been mad, making the job candidates drive to Somerset through that sort of weather. Ally |

Sued,
My friend who also has MS has trouble with her eyes sometimes, more with one eye than the other, I think. If you find ski school too hard to keep up, maybe you could try some more gentle ski-ing with your family. I hope all goes well, and the eye problem resolves before the holiday starts, Ally |

Some friends of mine have been to Praz sur Arly (last year) which, as Ise said, is in the same area. They say it is a little old fashioned, reasonably cheap, very French, really pretty, and the slopes were practically empty.
It is part of the new espace diamant with 185 Km of piste and, I think, 5 linked villages. I would think it is much cheaper than Megeve, if you want to save some money Pablo, although less 'posh'. Ally |

Sued,
I'm sorry to hear about your particular problem - I hope you can avoid seeing your 'friend' on your Austrian holiday now. Have you got other friends to ski with? Best Wishes, Ally |
