Absolutely. But as has been discussed before, sunnies are only any good in the sun. Any low vis or flat light and goggles are required.AllyG wrote:I think you should wear sunglasses or goggles, to protect your eyes from damage.

Jolly glad to hear that. I hope you wore clean pants too :wink:
To be honest I wouldn't take my chances on Borovets at Christmas after this year and last years snow history. Could you not change it, the TO might let you, seeing as it's so far away. They might charge you about £25 admin fees.
But if Borovets was chosen because of being on a budget then Andorra would be the best alternative. It is cheap and has a better snow history, and it's much, much better than Borovets in every other respect including ski schools.

Being a spectacle wearer i bought some OTG goggles but never wore them, but they were a bargain in the millets sale.
I wore contacts and wore sunglasses everyday. I used my standard goggles for an hour or so in really bad wind but took them off when i got to a lower altitude.
As for clothes.....
Well i bought three micro fleeces for a mid layer and never wore any of them. I wore a base layer and my ski jacket and i was sweating like hell. Skiing isn't as gentle exercise as it looks.
Two pairs of socks lasted me all week (skiing only) i did put nice ones on for meals out!

Extremely good idea. Get on the phone now, tell them you are worried about a lack of snow and general conditions in Borovets, and see what they can offer you as an alternative. Austria, Switzerland, Italy or France is what you really want.snowb4ndit wrote:sm4sh wrote:lol thanks snowb4ndit and if i do enjoy it ill prob just stop going ibiza in the summer and go skiing more lol. i like asking alot of questions gets me looking forward to my holiday more :lol: im just worried there may not be any snow in Borovets next year :lol: :(
