Snowboarding

soph

Hi...
I have booked a snowboarding holiday in bulgaria for christmas, this is my first holiday like this. I have booked a full snowboarding package, i know this includes, lift passes, snowboard, and boots, and school, does this mean i have to buy a snowboarding jacket and trousers??
sorry inkow i must sound clueless, but i just wanna be all prepared, instead of arriving there expecting to get the gear there? or do u think i will be able to rent that stuff out over there?
i hope someone can help me.. cheers..

Usually you need to provide the trousers and jacket yourself.

All you need now is some snow

yes you will have to bring jacket and trousers yourself. you could probably hire these from a local outdoor shop for relatively cheap(last year i hired out my gear at home instead of buying). all the package provides gear-wise is boots and board.
clothing wise you will be suprised how warm you will get when boarding. all i used to wear under jacket was 2 longsleve t-shirts with another short sleeve over it. i found wearing a jumper too thick and warm....

You'll also need proper gloves, and thick socks.
It's late Dec early Jan so it could be really cold and then you'll need a jumper/fleece too.
