My ski stuff - skis, boots, goggles, gloves, hat - never arrived at Sofia airport. Rep from the holiday company said stuff will arrive Monday as the baggage was left in Manchester.

Monday no skis or equipment, Tuesday rep said I will get the skis Wednesday, finally the equipment was in my room when I got back from town on Thursday

So two thirds of my holiday was ruined plus four days of lost pre paid ski lift pass. Now I am looking for compensation but from who.

The airline has offered me $60, I can claim insurance of £350, so do I claim this or do i try and claim from the holiday company?

Nice photos I so want to go back to Finland

According to the BBC skiing forecast, Bulgaria SHOULD get a covering end of next week. The snow that is shown on J2ski, snow-forecast was shown as rain on their map

Back to the original topic, sorry

Wouldn't a GPS meant for hiking be suitable?

They show the distance walked between points, walked/skied?

Yes thanks Tony_H, good advice and I will do this tomorrow although I booked with Balkan Hols so the choice is not bril

Its raining in Pamporovo today!

I liked the story about the old lady who refused to let them build a new ski lift because she doesn't like the noise!!!!

Yes great story truth is the farmer who owns the field in in dispute over money.

There used to be a great ski run that started above zakopane in a lovely little village and end up near the market but that too got shut because the land owners wanted something like a million pounds in rent

Getting to Zakopane is a pain too and you really need to hire a car - watch out for Sixt - not only to get their but to get around

Not very cheap any more

+ side, its so beautiful and the food and restaurants are great

That sounds OK to me, especially considering the weak pound

Last year I paid around £270 for 6 day pass and ski school, did not think much of the ski school
