EPIC Ski & Snowboard School

Welcome to EPIC Ski & Snowboard School

Your Ultimate Destination for Winter Sport Adventure in Borovets, Bulgaria.

  • Local

    Yastrebets to Markudjik

    We've skied Yastrebets, Musala, and Markudjik since we could walk. We know which side the wind drops on, which traverse cuts ten minutes off the gondola, and where the powder still lives three days after a dump.

  • Same coach

    Day one to day three

    One of us pairs with you on day one — and stays with you through day three. We watch one run, see the foot you don't trust, and pick the runs that fix it.

  • When not to ski

    Reading the day

    If the wind's wrong on Yastrebets, we move down to Markudjik. If visibility's gone by 11, we call it and refund the afternoon. We don't sell lessons we can't deliver.

— Wherever you start

What if the skier you wanted to be was three days away?

    Never clipped in

    Day one, the nursery slope, boots that feel like cinder blocks. By lunch you stand up and stop where you mean to. By day three you're on the Yastrebets gondola with the rest of the group — not waving from the bottom.

  2. 02

    Kids who'd rather be on YouTube

    Four kids tops, one coach for all three days. We start on the magic carpet, not on a clipboard. The kid who said it was boring on day one is the one asking for a third run on day three.

  3. 03

    Stuck on red runs

    Five seasons in and you still ski like it's your first. We watch one run, find the foot you don't trust, and pick the pitch that fixes it. By day three the turn that used to scare you is the turn you're chasing.

  4. 04

    Off the marked piste

    Powder lines that hold three days after a dump. Chutes the lift map doesn't show. Same coach the locals send their own kids to — and the only reason you're skiing these is because they're skiing them with you.

— The Process

Three steps. That's it.

One inquiry, one confirmation, one meet-up. We do the rest.

InquiryFirst lift
  1. 01

    Within 24 hours

    Tell us when you're coming.

    A quick inquiry — your dates, your level, how many of you. We reply within a day, often within an hour.

  2. 02

    Before you arrive

    We confirm instructor, slope, and gear.

    Your full plan — instructor matched to your level, daily schedule, equipment list — sorted before you land in Borovets.

    Show up at the meeting point.

    We handle the rest. Fitting, lift passes, route plan. All you do is ski.

  4. Summit

    You're skiing.

— Home turf

By day three, you'll ski lines you couldn't see on day one.

Three days with an instructor who's skied every line on this mountain — and reads yours in one run.

Day 1

Day one, top of Yastrebets. Wind cutting in from the left, snow squeaking under your skis. You take one run. Your instructor watches.

That's all it takes. By the bottom, they already know the turn that's catching you, the foot you trust too much, the bit of fear that's making you sit back. Then they pick the run that fixes it. The pitch that forces the foot you don't trust. The bumps that punish sitting back. The crud that won't let you cheat the turn. By lunch, the problem you came in with isn't there anymore.

Day 2

By day two, they've stopped explaining turns. They're handing you the mountain. The line that holds powder long after the rest of the resort has skied theirs out. The chute you wouldn't have looked at yesterday, taken clean because by now your feet know what to do without you asking.

Day 3

By day three, another instructor passes, nods at you, says something to yours in Bulgarian. Both grin. The tourist who showed up on day one isn't who they're skiing with anymore.

— Word from the slopes

We didn’t write any of this.

  • “I've been out today and I see a huge improvement, in everything and especially in the reds, which i do with speed and stability. No falling & a lot of confidence. I hold it to you man, so once again - a huge thanks!”

  • “Just got back from the airport and the kids haven't stopped talking about it. Booked the Quattro thinking someone was going to get left behind — me, the wife, both kids on totally different levels — but nobody did. Cheers, see you next February.”

  • “Third winter coming back to you guys. Had this leaning-back habit for years, every instructor noticed it but nobody actually went after it. Different story this time. See you in December, thanks again.”

“We did the Duo together. My wife went from terrified on the magic carpet to parallel turns on a blue run by day three. The video review on day two showed her exactly what she was doing differently.”

James Whittaker · First-time couple · Duo · Edinburgh · January 2025

Ski better by day three — or your lessons are free.

If you walk off the mountain on day three and aren't more confident than you were on day one, we refund the lesson fees in full. Equipment and resort passes excluded.

Need something different?

Bigger group, longer trip, or just one private morning?
