Lift Trip: Snowboarding in Bulgaria?
I heard from a friend that Bulgaria is a cheap place to ride. He sent this link Times story
Here is a piece of the story:
At least those passes didn’t cost much, just 50 Bulgarian leva per day, or about $37 at 1.36 leva to the dollar. And therein lies Bansko’s true appeal. It’s not the mountain, which is about as big and challenging as a midsize resort in Vermont. And it’s not the snow, which is (most years) plentiful, powdery and present from December to April. It’s that in Bansko you can ski all day, stuff yourself with steaks, drink more beer than anyone ought to and pass out in a fairly nice hotel room — all for about $60 a day.
There is a lot more cool stuff in the story but that should peak your poor ass snowboard interest.
