Basically I know we can get packages via Balkans for Gear, passes & tutoring but just trying to see if we can get it cheaper ourselves.

Thanks for any help

re: Bansko Prices

There are a few people on this board that can help with most / all of this. I've used Steve C and Nightmuffy (earlybird) for transfers in the past and will be using them twice again this coming season - can't fault them - spot on.

Transfers for 4 will probably cost around 180euros return. You can find cheaper I'm sure but cheaper is normally cheaper for a reason in my experience.

Lift pass prices don;t seem to be released as yet but suggestion so far is that they will be much the same ...

Lift pass prices don;t seem to be released as yet but suggestion so far is that they will be much the same as last year - so around 311lev for the adult week pass.

We can supply you the transfer, arrange your hire/instruction and pass through a tour company at a discount, all in advance of your arrival... We will not post prices, but if you are interested e-mail us off this post... but i think it will be a struggle to beat the packages... especially as you have not booked flights yet...
