any recommendations for ski hire and lessons.
We have been to bansko a few times and we always had a package with Balkan. I have noticed all the ski hire places on the way up to the gondola but do these guys do lessons too.
Bansko Ski Mania just over the road from the gondola.
We've used them for lessons and my partner for equipment hire for the past couple of years.
I don't normally take lessons but decided on a couple of hours brush up this year and they were fantastic.
The people in there are very friendly and nothing seems like too much trouble for them unlike other hire shops leading upto the gondola.
Usually book through bansko blog as the prices on there seem pretty reasonable.
The packages with Balkan will work out cheaper if you want hire and lessons too. But the shops all do lessons etc etc. Bansko ski mania are good and there are alot of good reports for them.
We use a little shop called Pirinsnow who are also very good and customer service is great. Our guests are very happy with Misho and his employees. They are situated right opposite the gondola too.
