Bankso - Ski Gear Prices

Hello!

Going Bankso for my first time, End of January.

What ski shops are the place that everyone goes to on here, to hire out the gear? I already have Ski Boots, I just need some skis / helmet to rent.

Also what are the prices like on ski hire, ski passes, food drink in Bankso

Currently in bansko. We booked a package in advance via balkan. 146 for skis boots pass lessons. Mrs had a pass only cost about £90. Unsure if its cheaper to prebook. Plenty of ski shops on pirin street. Food multiple places toeat ti ea

Multiple places to eat depends on which hotel you are in. Can strongly recommend the queens pub and stonehouse next door. Had a cracking meal for 5 in the stonehouse for £45 including drink. Local beer 4 lev in hotel 1.60

re:Bankso - Ski Gear Prices

there are a lot of hire places.
We use Pirin 2000, but there is also george, skimania, etc.

1.60 a lev for a beer at the hotel, need to check that hotel I think haha.

Heard much of the Queens Pub so I will be checking that place out.

Thank you very much for all your feedback.

I'm still not sure how much money I will need for the week for myself. I thought £250 would be more than enough?

Also exchange in the Uk or in Bulgaria for better rates?
