Hi DW

The last time I went to Bansko, the ski/board gear was returned to the ski hire shop at the end of skiing maximising Booze time

re: Bansko advice

if its hired you can normally take it back to the hire shop over night, if its your own either lug back or rent a locker.

There is a wee man in a little shop at the Gondola station that stores your own gear for you. A weeks storage last year cost about £5. Worth every penny so you don't have to lug boots etc backward and forward to hotel.

Hired gear is returned each nite to the hire shop.

Last year if you travelled with Balkan you left your skis at the gondola lift , but your boots back to your hotel.

Book your gear at the intersport shop just across the road from the gondola and you can leave everything there overnight. Leaves your hands free for the pancakes they sell on the main street. Mal
