Munchio...
Look at the date - this thread is a year old!

Indeed - this is right pain in the hole!
Kop suits meself & Mrs PatMan to the ground - decent accom within a 2 minute walk to the lifts, decent ski-ing for my level of experience, prices for...
Dont worry about snow levels - was there in first week of Feb - snow was down to 25cms when we arrived, but EVERY slope was ski-able!
The Grand is a great place to stay - the pool and jacuzzi most...
Money exchange in both the Grand and Konaci apts receptions. Take whatever you have!
There is also a change machine at Nis airport - didn't use it personally - but it takes notes and gives dinar!
Agree with surfer_chicky, the stop-over is on the way back home!
The flight leaves Gatwick - then Nis - then sofia - back to Gatwick. Also known at the Thomsonfly Eastern Bloc ski-bus!
The best thing is to just withdraw money at the cashpoints. There's 1 in the Hotel Grand, 1 in the Konaci reception and another one in between the shops.
They're really easy to use, and give you...
Yes midd, this is true!
Its a right pain, the flight is only about 20-25 mins, but its in the opposite direction to Gatwick, and its about an hour on the tarmac. Its just a shíte way to finish...
Ivan is MUCH better this year! He is so much more confident with his English and this shows when he deals with any questions raised or issues.
Kop is everything it was last year, and maybe even...
What a great fecking week!
Got to Kop late on Saturday night, but Ivan (Thomson rep) had made sure we all knew the plan for Sunday - ie: Meet at 9am to go to Konaci Apts to collect lift pass (400...
More snow predicted tomorrow!
Looks like its gonna be good for the later skiers - but still great for w/c Sat 2nd!
Woohoo - snow, drop in temp - excellent stuff...
Shame about the fog and gales closing all but four runs today tho...
Bulgaria not ALL bad - they at least having some decent dumps of snow this year!
Helen - thinks its just yaself, Munchio and me this year!
And we are all going in consecutive weeks... Don't worry, we will leave some snow for ya!!
I think you are right, Munchio - just getting a bit too excited here!!
See ya on the slopes, Munchio!
Snow Dance needed!!
Thats being way too kind! In the most, they were non-existant - very confusing for newbies. Made every run an adventure, "Wonder where we will end up this time!"
Maybe they can't find the new forum site either!
Pity really, picked up loads of useful information before I went away last year - bound to be loadsa newbies 'lost' and needing help!
Snow God definitely been smiling on Kop this week - looking good for us all!
Have to agree with you about the quality of hire gear - so much better than Bulgaria! And the queues - compared to the queues in Bulgaria - what queues?
A great time will be had by all - :cug:
Hmm, no free kids - that will def have an impact in numbers!
Am quite glad really - nothing worse than a 7 year old skiing better than you, whizzing past as you fall flat on your ar$e....
I got my notification of the combined flight info - bit of a pain, but nothing can be done... And not enough to put me off returning to Kop!
This board is very quiet this year... Is Kop a 'secret' again?
Not that I am getting excited!!
Hi Surfer Chicky,
AFAIK, the 'smaller' rooms are in the top floor and have a sloped ceiling! I hope they are not too small, as have booked one of them!!
