Have you been to the doctor's about this :?:

Personally I will always wear sunglasses whenever the conditions allow as I prefer the better field of vision they offer, that said, I ALWAYS have my goggles with me as you can never tell what the weather's going to do and it is not fun trying to pick your way down the hill in the middle of snowstorm :-o (sorry if that sounded a bit 'Scott of Antarctic but you get the picture)

It has been reported that the resort of Pamporovo will be imposing fines of upto 150 Euros on skiers found to be drunk on the slopes.

The decision to fine drunk skiers, boarders and snomobilers was made by the local municipal council in the local town of Chepelare, meeting last month.


The newly formed ski patrol will also be responsible for ensuring all forms of safety are maintained on Pamporovo’s slopes

I don't know about everyone else but this could mark a worrying trend as I am convinced that I have skied the morning after the night before when I definatly wouldn't have got in car :!: The cold mountain air always seems to have the desired effect anyway :lol:

Apparently the Union has now called off ALL planned striked after receiving a concession from BAA over the pensions issue. What on earth are they going to blame the delays on now :!: :!:

I'm surprised the French haven't had a strike yet, or barricaded the ports until they get their own way :lol:

I have to agree with the sweaty :lol: DEFINATLY book an all in package with someone like Thomson or Crystal (other tour operators are available) for your first time, my only word of caution is that you may have left it a tad late to book for half term, if there is any possible way of moving your A/L I would suggest you do it asap. You'll get a much better deal in terms of price obviously but also you should have more choice. Let us know where you decide to go in the nd but you can't beat Austrian ski schools as a beginner (IMHO) :thumbup:

oh dear, you've gone and done it now :!:

Beware that next knock on your door Tony, it could be the Bulgarian Mafia 8)

only the first one has been called off, to allow more negotiating time, fingers and toes crossed then :)
