Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Well we thoroughly enjoyed Banff last year. The town has a good selection of restaurants and there are 3 separate ski areas to enjoy all with a wide variety of runs for all standards. Unfortunately the lift pass is expensive but you are paying for a huge total area which is quite spread out. It takes about 40 minutes to get to Lake Louise. I would go in March because Canada can be very cold in Jan and Feb. See previous post and look at the website for mre info. It has a very good photo gallery which will give you an idea of conditions plus webcams of course.

Have to agree that Banff is indeed a good place to go, however, you have to be "bused" in each morning to the slopes which can be a bit of a drag. The slopes are always in tip top condition and unlike most places, they also have Ski Police who patrol the slopes looking out for any offenders, therefore ensuring that you get to ski/board in peace and safety. Bit more than can be said for Borovets! Anyway, Banff is a lively enough town (go with an open mind) and eating/drinking out is a fab experience and extremely good value for money! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and you will love it there Im sure. March is certainly the best time to go - so cold earlier in the year that you wont enjoy it as much! We stayed at the Caribou Lodge in Banff which was a wonderful hotel, with roaring log fires and the best ski instructors ever! The food is also extremely good there and the rooms were brilliant - we ended up in a suite for the two weeks which was an added bonus at no extra cost! Would certainly recommend it to anyone. Have a fab time if you do decide to go.
