You can find a snow report here - http://www.j2ski.com/snow_forecast/Bulgaria/Borovets_snow_report.html
You can also sign up for weekly snow reports, via email, on the same page. |

You can ski back to resort but the bottom of the run is very crowded and often very slushy. Some prefer to take the Sportinia lift down if they have tired legs. I think it's worth skiing down and sampling the vast aperitivo on offer in the bar in the lift building. The more often you're there the better it gets. We spent a lot of our apres ski there last year.

I used to have a fear of chairs. A couple of embarrassing 'stopping the lift' incidents I caused didn't help.
I was mostly cured by a great instructor. She talked me through a technique of getting off the lift which helped immensely. As it's such a major part of skiing why not book private lessons and have the instructor talk her through it? It can't make her any worse. Getting on a lift with an instructor gives you more chance of them being able to bargain for extra space on the chair too. |

There's a book 'Get Fit to Ski & Snowboard' which is now out of print but available on Amazon, Abe Books, etc second hand. Loads of exercises to get you shipshape.

A lot of insurance doesn't cover night skiing. Something rep's sometimes forget to mention before they get your money.
