Fellow Bansko addicts,
After an enforced introduction to off-piste skiing in verbier in december I am now semi confident enough to try it in Bansko. Visiting with 4 mates early feb and think it would expand our skiing area. Is it worth hiring a guide for a day or is the off piste fairly limited ? I have read steve c and dave canski's reports of wrong turns with hours of walking in powder and do not want to end up lost ! We are all good/advanced intermediates. Any thoughts or advice welcome ...

re: Easier Off-Piste in Bansko
If with the right guide there is alot of good off piste .You need fully off piste equipmet or its dangerous for you and your friends
Avalanche transciever, shovels pole etc
And make sure YOU ALL K OW HOW TO USE kit , no point haiving it if you dont k now how to use it .
AND although you should nokrmally carry id etc
Carry 2 emergency contact numbers , EU health card and copy of insurance ...in case the worst happens
