bansko info

hey guys,

i'm off to bansko on the 20th for a week. I was just wondering what lift price passes are for 7 days, and also wether it is worth bringing my powder sticks with me - snow sounds a bit hit and miss at the moment, not quite justifying 130mm under foot!

also any tips on places to go and chill with a beer and build a decent sized kicker? any pow stashes i should know about/discounts on lift passes?

any help would be excellente,

peace

Hi BennyC (my brother perhaps ??)
6 day at the gondola, 283lv... mail me and i could save you some money...
130mm underfoot.... not with the conditions at the moment though im cutting it on 112mm... On piste is as good as i've seen it here, cutting up a little in places at the end of the day but still brilliant. Pistes very quiet... Off piste is hard pack, and what soft there is, is very heavy/lumpy... As for powder stashes, we are off down to Dobriniste on Friday, areas down there catch ...

We are hopeful of some late snow, on the existing base it would be awesome...
Most bars are reasonable, Irish, Friendly, lion etc...
Millionaires skiing at the mo, very sunny, brilliant blue skies, quiet, and good cover on all runs... Makes you feel like you don't want to go home... O, i don't have to, i live here... hehehehe

re: bansko info

sounds good, i'll leave the pontoons at home in that case and concentrate on my park skiing a bit. how is the park up there? any decent tree skiing at the moment at al?

looking forward to it, done a whistler and a chamonix season recently and this is first time out on the planks in just under a year, can't wait!

thanks for the quick reply, i will message you about that discount Cool

re: bansko info

Hi Clare..
We have just been informed that as we purchase as if we were tour companies, and the non-Balkan companies end this week we will not be able to pre-book and qualify for a discount Mad until next season... Seems ludicrious that the likes of Thompson, Crystal etc are ending before Easter...
So basically we cannot help... If i find out anything to the contrary, i'll be right back Wink
