Bansko Night Skiing

Hi Bansko dwellers and regulars,

Off to Bansko this weekend. I understand that (part of) the ski road is illuminated so is it possible to night ski? Does the gondola run at dusk or would it be a hole up in a bar until darkness job?

Primary question:
Is night skiing in Bansko possible, or even advised against?

Thanks,
Grey

No night skiing here, you could hole up at the Pesherita bar on the ski road and ski down after the lifts close, but the ski road is very flat, hardly great fun.

Very flat but for some reason it becomes much more difficult to board down after a while in the Pesherita. I never make it back from there without falling a few times. Must be something to do with the snow conditions changing after it goes dark...
