re: Bansko-really the best!

ok, I just returned from Bansko and I changed ideas to the worse.
All the slopes were terrible in conditions. Somebody must tell them in Bansko that there are some special graders (trucks) that must prepare the slopes for the skiers otherwise they are very dangerous even for advanced skiers.

For the money of the lift-pass they are asking - euros 25 - they should be excellent prepared. The same cost of the lift is in Austria. In Greece is euros 13 only and that is exactly what the ...

Also, if yoy go to rent skis from the gondola area is very hard to find a Bulgarian employee to speak English. What do they expect from tourists? to learn Bulgarian.

Come on, give me a break. I went there for 3 days and didn't enjoy at all.
Go elsewhere. I don't know about Borovets. I'd really would like to know about.

Apart from the above, Bulgarians are quite nice people.

But for example Austria!!! THIS IS SKIING!!!

re: Bansko-really the best!

I believe that Bansko have the best skiing & snowboarding conditions in Bulgaria.
Negative things :
- . They have made a huge investment for making the resort international. New gondola , chair lifts , snow machines make the costs high. I respect it but double skipass prices for foreign people is not fair at all
- Some employees cannot speak english but they try do their best for customers.
Every year , they improve the quality. Bansko will be very popular in balkans very soon . I ...

re: Bansko-really the best!

I agree about the slopes and ski conditions that ware the worst ever experienced. Bansko maybe have good natural conditions but should be prepared in decent way. For the fee (very high in this area) grooming machines should work all the daylong.
