I was with a large group, and one of the best things about WP was that there was something here for skiers of all levels.

The mountains are taller, they get more snow, have less trees, you name it and it’s better out west.

The local people could not have been more friendly, and there was so much to do--both on and off the mountain.

Everything was disconnected (hotel, main office, fitness center, etc.), broken down (chair lifts and hot tub), and difficult to access.

My recent stay left me with the distinct impression, that the resort we bought into several years back, has morphed into a conglomeration of separate profit centers, i.e. skiing,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420233645700 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:58:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420233645700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419124842116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author icio - About myself I was a former ski instructor, 40-50 days of skiing a year; now I am happy with just 1 week -10 days a year but I hope you would still allow me to be your e-guide to Vail.

Until I moved out. I'm here in Borovets now at a different hotel - the Ela, much nicer. I moved out because 4 of us were sharing a 'studio' and it was way too cramped.

Closure of sunrise lift and general slowness of the lifts meant very long lines on every lift, even on chair 6 and 10. In fact, I saw some of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418892123780 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 20:24:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418892123780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418782219908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seesaw1981 - I recently visited Monarch Mountain with a youth group.

The hotel was ski-in and was along side the slopes. The trails were fun for the beginners and the groom all trails. Off peak the lodge is very reasonable.
