Developers have been talking about this for years... still nothing and building it would take years.

Last I heard Green peace/green parts/ national park were against it as it would result in felling of x thousand trees.

I hope it goes up though asap.

Have been told by someone who works in Bansko that it has just got the official go-ahead but don't know when they will start building.

The construction company responsible for the ground works including the bases for the new Challin Valog four man chair have been contracted for the installation of the new gondolar and the avalanche protection on the Akidemika side of Bansko, the old red chair unused for six seasons. This information was relayed to me through the Ulen gondolar security officer (as i was being errrrr chastised for using someone elses lift pass)....
He could not give me dates but works are supposed to start ...

I'm not sure what i'm more surprised about, the gondolar security officer having inside knowledge or the gondolar security officer being able to speal english.

there is only one person you should believe, and that's Tseko Minev.

I think the spelling of 'gondolar' makes it sound rather posh. Very Happy
