Anyone who's been this season, know if the 'gimme shelter' teepee bar/restaurant place on the blue number 1 back down to bansko is there this year?

Looks like it had been bulldozed to me today! May be wrong but it didn't look like I would be open. Shame but hut open further up still serving cheap good food and drink.

The hotel behind Blah Blah is a much better alternative for beer and food. About 100 yard walk. Small bar on lower ground, right hand side with limited snacks/kebabs and beer. Go up the left hand side and to the rear there is the main bar/restaurant. Great value compared to the slopes.

If you come from the top of the Chalin Valog drag lift there is a picnic sign on the right hand side before you go round to the chair lift. Take a right and follow the track into the woods about 30 yards. ...

The restaurant before the teepee is also privately owned and great, especially if it's mild outside.

And finally..... If you like the Mehanas for an evening meal
I recommend venturing behind the church near the square. Two roads back take a right turn, there's usually 'uncle George' touting for business on the corner. His reataurant is great and there are a couple of others very close by worth trying.

Out 3rd Feb and 3rd March, can and will wait !

Re Peshterite

Look for the cave in the rocks on the LH side of the piste, as as Dean said, look out for the large display of notice boards on the LH side (immediately after the cave and just pop down behind.
