Safety of your equipment

Most places have heated racks and lockers, as others have said. If you're worried about leaving ski's while you have a jar, just find a spot by the window so you can keep an eye on them.

...I've been to Borovets twice and thoroughly enjoyed both occasions. The following year went to Kaprun and my brother was assaulted resulting in an early trip home... Make your own mind up...

Shurely shome mishtake! Ski boots should fit - not be half a size too big or too small, for that matter.

And, Wickers, of course I secure my skis with the combi lock to a rack, sign or something else that's fixed!

What did he do to warrant that?

He doesn't know, to this day! Just woke up in the snow, bashed up with a broken nose. Thinks it was a cheap shot from behind...

Oddly my housemate was skiing in France at the same time, and came back with a black eye.

I've run ski trips for the last 12 years, taking between 40 and 80 people away each year to what are supposed to be high risk resorts. In that time we're yet to have anything stolen. The only problem we've had is the odd pair of hire skis being mixed up within the group. A few swap skis, most of us don't bother.

Just one point about boots, don't over heat the liners or all the hard work in the shop moulding them to your feet could be undone. Make sure they are dry and warm but not hot.
