Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi,
Bansko's fine for a beginner,
I live here and have just learnt to ski aged 48 having been on 5 ski hols with the family in France and always been to scared (even after an individual lesson in France)
There is a nusery slope which you can hardly move on, so you will quickly learn to stand on ski's get the hang of a plough and side step
Then you progress to the green slope with a button lift (just build up your confidence and skills here)
Then you can progress to an easy blue ( no 6 then 4 then 1)
or
the ski road back to town
I had skied from the top of the mountain to the bottom in less than a week and done two easy reds (7 &
Bansko has the advantage of the nusery and green slope being at the top of the gondula (so if you go with good skiers they can have a decent run and come back and see you, in France my experience with the nursary and green slopes was that you were on your own at the bottom of the mountain)
You'll be fine if I can learn to ski anyone can!!!!!

Hi Sam,

Bansko has an apres ski bar near the gondola called the happy end, which has live group at weekends (nice for a drink after a day on the slopes) There's the lion bar by the strazhite which a lot of brits use (both of these are expensive drinks compared with local mehana's
Just down from the strazhite is a casino with roulette (minimum stake 0.1 leva) great fun if there's a few of you and won't break the bank it also has slot machines
There's two night clubs amnesia and no name and a copule of bars base camp, legleo and a new one just opened under the internet cafe (none of the bars that easy to find if you don't know where they are, but beer 1 leva)
Bansko's what you make it, are you coming with a group?
