The ski school seems to only do ski packs for 7 yrs and over is it possible to get them for 6 yr olds?
Also looking at getting a transfere from Thessaloniki Airport to Bansko is this possible?
Thanks to all in advance!

Right...

To the first question --- No free child pass, reduction for under 12...
the second --- restriction on age for learn to ski packs from Ulen but options as there are many ski schools...
the third --- yes, not us, but we know some who do...

As for your statement of `won't be cheap', its all relative, no, it won't be cheap compared to a weekend in Bognor, but it will be cheap for a ski holiday... Have you considered package deals with an operator ? some offering inclusive ...

Have you considered package deals with an operator ? some offering inclusive passes/instruction/hire etc ? or are you having use of an owners apartment for the holiday ? and by the sounds organising your own flights...

Wanted large apartment for all as like spending time with my nephew 6 and neice 12 + Kids 6 & 8, playing boring board games and hide and seek ECT. and have a few (X2) quite beers with Wife and family. Do not think I will beat the packadges but should get better quailty. Dont mind spending the money up to budget, just try to ring every cent out of every Euro! (am a bit of a Victor Meldrew or Steptoe depends who you ask)
and hoped to save a few euros on the two 6 yr old ski passes.
this is why I asked. Also seems one of the big bug bears on the forums is Hotel FOOD so if we cook our own safe option and can only blame the cook! Looks like there is a kindergarden that also teach for 2 hrs learn to ski this will be good for one 6 yrs (who has never skied) but my son who is 6 also was happy to ski blues last year in France and i do not want him in beginer class, this is why I wondered if the school would take him. but will start looking for another ski school, heard there is a British run School?? Any info you could give I would be greatful .
Many Regards
Ian
