I went with a group of friends who'd never skied before and I lasted 2 days on the slopes, it wasn't worth the effort putting my ski boots on. If your're there with your daughter then I'm sure you'll have a great time but don't expect great skiing even on the black run.

I went a few years ago and will never pay to go back. But I did enjoy skiing for the whole week...Yes I did ski some slopes more than once, but even in the largest of ski resorts I have been known to ski the same slope more than once...Usually the ones I really enjoy.

Even one piste is worth the effort of donning my ski boots! Having said that, putting my ski boots on seems effortless. :wink:

PS The Moussala pathway is a run I would avoid everytime....Sooooo boring!

Moussala so assuming it has some coverage , has anyone done this ? One black is not going to keep me occupied :cry:

There are 5 blacks and 11 reds in Borovets. I am assuming that you will also spend some time with your daughter and friends on the greens and blues...So you should have plenty to do.

I am sure you will have fun. :D

I don't think you'll be in a hurry to go back again though as more than a week in Borovets would get boring for someone of your level.

I am an intermediate skiier looking to just have full days on the slopes, nice lunches, few glasses of wine in the evening but then up early for the slopes every day. Looking at mid-Jan in France - something about £500ish Thurs-Sundayish. Anyone interested? Or am i the only ski-freak woman in the UK??

I'll be in Morzine, message me if that's where you end up.

Woohoo, does that mean we may see the return of the florescent one-piece ski suits? :shock:

I saw a few of these last year!
