Ski Bulgaria
There are many many places I can think of that I'd like to be heading right now to do some skiing. But I confess that
Bulgaria is not near the top of that list .In fact, I'm not sure it's even ON the list. Wait, let me check...nope, Bulgaria is not a ski destination with which I am familiar.And so I
was surprised...in a good way...with this piece in the outdoorsy Stellar Magazine on skiiing Bulgaria. But Leslie Anthony heads there and
discovers, between gulps of rakia, a grappa-like liquor, that Bulgaria has a few surprises in store. Actually, I love
to see new places discovered...places like Bulgaria that could probably use an infusion of tourism. Is Bulgaria a new
Jackson Hole? Well, probably not. As the writer describes, it's doubtful that as Jackson someone would try to sell you
an AK-47. Maybe a six-shooter, but not an assault rifle. But my curiosity is piqued and I just scribbled a word on my
list of place I want to ski: Bulgaria.

I have skied many times in Bulgaria as well as in Switzerland and the USA. The facilities are just being modernized in Bulgaria, the slopes are superb and there is plenty of variety. Price-wise it's much more affordable of course. Try Bansko in the Rila mountains.
