snow in borovets

Please, can someone tell me of the snow in borovets.
Also as bulgaria is going to be EU on the first is it levs or euros or pounds and if levs is there a black market or if so should it be used?

Hi - not sure on the EU bit but be careful when getting lev's especially if you do it out there. Make sure you get the advertised rate! Quite often they will advertise a rate of 2.8 for instance, but when you get your currency it's been done at a lower rate - we found they swap the buy/sell rates over i.e. buy 2.1/sell 2.8 is actually buy 2.8/sell 2.1.... Apart from that I couldn't see much difference between the rate in the UK and out there so you may be better off buying in the UK to be safe.

not sure on conditions right now, but I went for my first time this year (March) and had a fantastic time as it snowed the whole week which meant i had fresh powder to face plant in :D

Make sure you visit a bar called Titanic, when you're in there have a look around for a couple called Bob & Caroline... you can't miss them trust me.... (in case you do, bob will be the short bloke with the mohican and his wife will be the exceptionally loud drunken one trying to get everyone dancing on the tables)

Nice one. thsnks for your advice
take care

Went to Borovets last XMAS with a few mates who were pretty new to skiing. The previous writer is correct in that you should take enough cash to sort you out whilst you are away - you may find a lot of the bars, pubs, etc dont take cards, etc - so fill up on the local dollar and fill your boots.

The lower slopes are either rammed, or it can take you ages to get onto lifts, so suggest you get onto the gondola straight away and get onto the top slopes - there's some easy and some very tricky areas to cater for all types of abilities, etc.

Everyone there is friendly and a good spot to go to. Also - try either Tignes or Les Arcs (1800 or 2000) for future skiing hols - both are great. :mrgreen:
