been to bansko didn't like it, if your that worried about snow maybee change country where the snow is better as temperature seems to be rising in all three resorts....but who knows especailly this year.

borovets is the place. . .been to both this year. .. have been to boro many times and it is excellent. . .lots of bars and places to eat. . .great skiing at top of of mountain. . lots of charm in the resort whereas bamsko is a bit boring
