I visited Pamporova for my first ever ski trip and found it to be a very good place to learn at a reasonable price. When i arrived i found that accomadation wasnt exactly great but it but livable but it was near the bar so nobody moaned. I was in a party of 5 3 guys and 2 girls so we managed to get separate lodges so we had a lads place lol. The first day was nervous iv never been skiing before i didnt know if what i had bought would be suitable but everyone was the same so i felt better. I got my skis and headed off to ski school and managed to slip and land on my arse even before i got on the skis.

Ski school was mainly about teaching you how to land and fall and control the skis and how you turn after about a morning we managed to work our way onto a training slope and there the fun began. The slower you go the harder it is which is really funny cos you can go really fast but you need control.

After we had learned the controls the next day we all went onto an easy slope they are colour coded green blue red and black. Green was the easiest and it was fantastic just skiing down the slopes it is such an amazing thing.

I would reccomend this resort for beginners the snow is ok the food is greasy and the night lifes ok ish but the booze is cheep just watch out for thiefs.
