Trip to Bulgaria-Borovets March 5th-12th
I'm planning to fly from Bristol or open to flying from any London airport. I'll be travelling from Cornwall so could pick up anyone needing a lift on route, would only ask to chip in for fuel and airport parking.
Planning to stay in Samokov 10 minute drive from resort, in aleks guest house found on booking.com individual rooms cost £93-100 for the week. Don't have to pay hotel you arrive at the property.
Hiring a vehicle in Bulgaria depending what car we could hire but a SUV for the week is £100 and a standard car is around £45. This cost would be shared between the party along with fuel for the week which is very little £30-40 and parking in resort £30 for the week.
Ski pass for the week is around £180-190 that doesn't include night skiing which is £20. Very flexible with eating in or out at resort or in samokov Town not a big drinker so happily able to drive.
If anyone fancies a trip please get in touch

Hi I'm Peter based in Solihull, West Midlands, having visited Sophia a couple of years ago I'm keen to ski in Bulgaria - I'm an intermediate skier, semi-retired very fit 65 y/o I go to the gym most days and swim a couple of times a week, I could fly out from Bristol or Birmingham (and would consider other airports).

Hi, It could be easier for me to travel directly to the airport (Heathrow or Gatwick) by train or coach and meet up with you there, rather than trying to rendezvous in Bristol (unless at a train station e.g. Bristol Parkway or Reading - both about 3.5 miles from M4 Junctions). I guess I can hire skis and boots in the resort ~ possibly where the ski pass is purchased. I prefer an individual room, not a big drinker either and happy to eat out in the resort or in Samokov, does the guest house offer breakfast, maybe at an extra cost? Regards Peter

If you click on my name It will allow you to message me.
We haven't decided on flights yet but we may travel on the Friday instead now but an early flight looking at a few options available to us. All rooms are individual I'm not a drinker myself either. I'm also easy to eat where ever some very nice restaurants in samokov. Where we're staying has cooking facilities and a local bila supermarket you can get supplies I will ask the question though if you want me to book you a room

Hi @Lucben
There is two off us and we're both snowboarders and both intermediate level I would say. We're actually travelling on the 4th to the 11th flying from Luton. If you were interested drop me a DM and we can discuss.
Thanks Ian

From my experience, most skiers whom begin/start skiing in Bulgaria eventually give central Europe a bash. Then they never go back to Bulgaria.
Just saying.

@Mollerski, I have been in most European resorts and they are better than Bulgaria but I was thinking of giving Borovets a try
