Just remember slopes will be busy cos it's some bulgarian holiday - not sure whatre: Bansko 3rd March
I am going to Bansko on the 4th. 11 Scottish lads and lassies. Watch out Bansko ;-)re: Bansko 3rd March
i think 3rd March is Liberation day and we will be travelling that day anyway, i imagine Sunday will be a bit busier than normal but i'm guessing most weekends are busy with locals anyway!re: Bansko 3rd March
Just got back from Bansko -went over 1/2 term- very busy and long queues (up to 1 hr) to get on the gondola every morning. kept getting there earlier to miss the bottle-neck but so did everyone else! Snow ok higher up slopes but everything pretty slushy by midday as weather so warm. Long queues for lifts up to mid slopes too! Bansko is a massive building site but still has a lot of charm if you look for it. prices v cheap away from gondola. I can't see how slopes will cope with even more ...

Bansko is a massive building site but still has a lot of charm if you look for it. prices v cheap away from gondola. I can't see how slopes will cope with even more people once rest of building is finished and definitely will need another gondola. I hear no more pistes are planned so if that is the case Bansko will be a victim of its own success before it has even finished development! Still - we had a good time!

after that long report its worried me loads!i have been wanting to go skiing for 7 years since the last time i went!!! but now really worried, i have told my bf (who has never been)that its going to be great. got a bad feeling its going to be a diaster!!!!!!re: Bansko 3rd March
the 3rd may be the actual day, but our rep advised us to avoid that week altogether.re: Bansko 3rd March
Jenna, don't worry at all. I am going for the fun on the slopes and being conned by reps/hotel standards/building sites are of no concern to me.Sadly we live at a time when fold are more willing to say something negative on a web site than actually come on with praise.
You will have a great time. Just watch out for drunken Scotsmen!

Jenna it wont be a disaster just go with the flow we met lovely people laughed a lot and skied every day. Few tips to beat queues. Take your skies back to your hotel and get to the gondola at 8.20 that way you will avoid queuing and be on the slopes for a run before ski school. Alternatively lie in and go up at 10.30 if you are going with Balkan you are likely to miss most of your sleep so just be prepared for that. There is a lot of building but it didnt affect us, there is no snow in the ...
