Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Why aren't people staying at the Kimpinski Grand Arena, they would have far less to moan about, excellent hotel in every way, be evan better when they build the tunnel from the ski room to gondola, then apart from an apres drink in Happey End you would never have to be involved in the shoddy dump that is Bansko town, just enjoy the mountain all day and the hotel in the evenings, make sure you get a room at the back of the hotel with delightfull mountain views, keep your eyes closed on the bus as it drives into Bansko and you would think you'd found a rather special place.

With all due respect i've been in Bansko the whole season, and the queues you experienced during your holiday were no so bad compared to the terrible gondola queues of last week. I ski nearly every day, almost nearly without queues.

Also, during your holiday, Bansko was hosting a competion, winds closed a number of the lifts and their was a bomb scare, all detracting enjoyment of your holiday. I'm sure if you came the following week your opinion would have been totally different.

Ahhh - must have been my imagination - and I'm making it all up - and I'm a liar - and it was the wind - and it was the bomb scare - and it was the European Ladies GS - and I got there at the wrong time of day -- whatever the reason I was only able to ski the whole mountain just 1 day the whole week when the snow was excellent - and I had to queue EVERY DAY to use the Gondala as did everyone else I was with. And after waitng a whole year to ski this wonder resort, I was disappointed and annoyed. Use whatever excuse you want to, to justify it but that doesn't alter the facts, as many others who have returned will say the same thing - the queues for the Gondala are unacceptably long, and the mountain management is appauling.
