Just wanted to say I had a fantastic time - stayed at Hotel Bansko, no complaints - plenty of eating out alternatives for the fussy... Thought 3 leva for a beer was cheap until discovered local shops sell for 0.45 ! Actual resort area excellent - brand new Austrian lifts, pistes pretty well groomed, nice runs through the trees.
