That's an excellent date. It's my birthday :D

The thing is, you'll have a great holiday no matter what, because you'll be with your mates. You can't control the weather, you can't really control anything! We all worry a bit before we go, because we all want our holidays to be perfect, but the reality is that you'll still have a good time.

You've got to make the decision to wither change the date, change the resort, or do nothing and cross your fingers. Even if you do change the date or resort, there's NEVER an absolute guarantee that you'll have great snow.

Chill, and just look forward to a great holiday.

Totally agree with kateshaw CHILL!

I first learned to ski in Pamporovo, Bulgaria. Was told there was no snow out there on some forum (not this one). When we got there, yes there was a lack of snow, but the snow cannons and snow ploughs done a brilliant job at keeping the green and some blues open all week. So don't worry, all will be well, and the Bulgarian's will put a smile on your face.

I hate to give you more bad news, but that hotel is pretty awful as well. A friend of mine stayed there last year, and she found it so bad she couldn't even describe it because she couldn't bear to think about it. Mind you, she is used to staying in 4 star hotels in the U.K. :D

We stayed in the hotel Mura, next to the Samokov, a few years ago and it was pretty bad. The blankets had holes in, no-one apart from us ate any of the food (we were really short of money and quite interested in native Bulgarian food made mainly of potatoes and cheese) and one was supposed to put the used toilet paper in a bin in the bathroom (which was next to the bedroom). Of course the Mura may have improved since then.

What I am trying to say is that I'm sure there are much better places around which don't cost a lot more. If all you have to pay is the admin charges Snowbandit was talking about, to change the resort if you stay with First Choice, then I think you should at least consider other places.
