Hi
I've Just booked up a holiday to Bansko from 20th Dec - 27th Dec 08. It'll be my first time skiing out there and i'm looking to hire Boots, Skis and poles! Does anybody know what i can expect to pay for hiring these for a week? and any suggestions where to hire them from?

Cheers

Tiger - now you being obstreperous.

If it's your first time skiing I suspect you will be better getting a ski-hire / tuition package. But I don't know Bansko, so I can't recommend anywhere.

You will be much better off buying a beginners ski package from the travel agent you bought your holiday through - much cheaper than hiring in the resort and all the hassle will be taken care of for you.

The beach sounds like a good idea, but i was quite looking forward to some snow if i'm honest tiggertim!!

Thanks to the rest of you though, you kind of confirmed what i already thought.

There are plenty of ski hire places within bansko offering some very reasonable prices last year i hired at a cost of only £45 for 6 days.This included boots skis and poles, the shop was located on the left of pirin street as you walked up towards the gondola.they were very helpfull and letsus swap between skis and boards.The shop had a big solomon sign out front.

Skigal there are many places to chose from from equipment hire and lessons etc - it isn't really a great deal of hassle, maybe 15 mins on your first day and thats it. I have sent you a message direct with some details.

I hired from a local ski shop while out there (Run by George - fantastic chap)

I think it was called Inter Ski or something like that.
