Slopes much higher than Pamps and more cannons. Done Pamporovo 5 times and Bansko once this year. Bansko is better although I love Pamps. better slopes much wider and longer and a good village with loads of local mehanas to eat wich you don't get in Pamps.
it is a good time to pick up ,nearly new gear in charity shops its ideal both for adults and kids,ask in the shops as many of them hold this stock in there stockroom until winter
