Bansko veni,vidi...

I was in Bansko last week, hotel Orphay was excellent, slopes well prepared, the only horror was every morning by gondola, I can´ t imagine, when all hotels which are now beeing built will be ready, how will all the people come to the slopes...

new Gondola is planned to be built. Saw this on the Sofia 2014 Olympic application. So no worries ....;-)

The slopes are not 100% full. When you get up the gondola (finally), there are minimal queue's for the lifts.

The slopes are not 100% full that is utter tosh. The reason they where busy last week is because you went in Half term.
