Bansko private tuition recommendations

Could anyone recommend a good (and hopefully inexpensive!) snowboard instructor for our two 11 year old complete beginners please? We are going out on the 10th and fear that the ski school will be booked solid as it is half-term.

Have you checked out www.methodsnowschool.com - they are all English. Admittedly, we haven't had a reply from our Email but you might be better ringing them. Where are you staying? We get there 10th aswell staying at Tamplier - 3 adults and 2 lads 16 and 19.

you can book private tuition with uellen (sumink like that) at the gondola station, to the left of the stairs up to the gondolas there is a little window, to the left of that is a room where all the instructors meet, go in there and tell them what you want. works out about 70quid for the whole day, which aint bad, but after a day 1 on 1 they should have the basics. also make sure u tell them private lesson otherwise they will put them in a group

hey greenski, my instructors name is george, he's more than happy to help +359898383908. he's a brilliant instructor, although I've only ever skied with him but apparently he's spent many years as a boarding instructor too.

Thanks katy mc - I'll give him a call today.

I just desperately want to avoid the scrum on Sunday morning for lessons & ski hire (well, probably can't avoid ski hire scrum!).
With private tuition, at least we can have a start time that doesn't coincide with the rest of Bansko wanting to go up the mountain!

Persevere with Method....excellent tuition plus they might drop your ski gear off at the hotel for you to pick up on arrival, problem of ski hire scrum solved!
