Chairlifts - Bansko

Are there any chairlifts running at the moment in Bansko or is it mostly drag lifts? i'm going in 3 and a half weeks and i'm useless on drags so hoping the chairs are running!!

All chair lifts working. Top chairs shut if high winds.

are the chairlifts easy enough to get on and off? i gather they are all fairly modern....

Chairlifts no problem to get off at all, don't think I saw anyone fall at all last week.

first chairlift took my legs from under me when i got off but i soon learned to lean forward

i'm sure i'll provide some entertainment, after 2 holidays i still haven't mastered the art of getting off the chairlift gracefully!!!

re: Chairlifts - Bansko

i just tendered to wobble a bit then lean back

re: Chairlifts - Bansko

not on a snowboard, or not for me anyway!!! last year when we were in canada there was a lift assitant waiting at the top to catch the little kids coming off, i just launched myself at him and grabbed hold of him haha! he looked a bit bemused as i muttered something about trying to be more stylish next time!!
