Bansko Season

Hi all, I was thinking of booking flights to go out to Bansko towards the end of the season (March/April) and was wondering if anyone could advise me when is the latest i that i can confidently hope to have decent snow to ski on?

re: Bansko Season

The season closes mid April - you should have good snow to the end of the first week but it can be very hit and miss. Last season was a write off from the beginning of March but we got a late dump in April that kept people going to the end of the season.

re: Bansko Season

Hi, guys!
I was also wondering if there is usually snow in the first week of January. I am thinking about visiting Bansko then but I am worried that there will be no snow. How was it last year? Smile Thanks!
