Very Happy
also considering the snowplough aprts. in bansko for a 1st time skiing/boarding trip in feb. two questions - a) is it a hike from the apts to the gondola, b) i have boarded once before (but some years ago now), my bf hasn't tried either - any opinion on whether we are better to board or ski?
thanks in advance for any info!

I stayed in the Snowplough apts last week new clean place our 1 bed apt was on 2 levels. A double bedroom upstairs and i was on the sofa bed on the lower level the sheet was only a single !!!!! The temp was set at 66 deg so it was just right. Shower soaked the whole bathroom floor. Apt was located at the far end of a building site road ok as it was frozen once it thaws it wont be any fun.
7 min walk to old town 12 min to gondola.
Lift pass £18 a day £5 hire gear, Pay for both at same time ...

Gondola takes foot passengers £5 return atmosphere on the mountain and in the town was brill.
Skiing was very good for all levels i think.
I will definatly be returning, the oldie worldie Mehana bars restaurants is what seperates this from the other resorts. : Very Happy Booze
