pistes 13 and 14 are open (below gondola mid station) they were not last year, too many tree stumps! but run 12 on the right side will not be opening this year (it didnt last year either)

re: Bansko Piste Map

our ski instructor (also mountain rescue) said that the area next to it is the worst avaklanch area in the balkans, maybe too many people were using the lift to access that area? or is it just old and dangerous?

Most of the piste map is fiction and no real beginner slopes exist

Sorry

Having learnt there some years ago - I would concur. The learner slope is basically a flat field by the gondola
