what time is it on eurosport, just checked that and couldn't see it?re: Europa Cup in bansko
I've just come back and they do have a tv crew there but I'm not sure if it's broadcasting outsided BG, to be honest if it's on I think quite a few of the vistors from last week will puke at the thought of anyone watching it as the comp is being held at the visitors expense. - you need to bear in mind that two of the best runs were kept out of commission for most of last week & we had to make do with only three crowded and icy runs, they also removed the portable snow cannons from a lot of ...

I'm sure Bansko is not the only ski resort in the world that closes slopes for competitions.

I'm sure it's not but when they close down 2 of the 5 runs & make all the feepaying guests use one list it's a bit crap - also the amount of time & effort spent they put-in arranging "their day out" should have been spent on the paying guests not the "national ski teams, their families and the press pack" whom were following them around - don't get me wrong Bansko is a great place it's just that corporate boll**ks sems to over been the order of the week!re: Europa Cup in bansko
HI Jamifly
Commercial reality I s'pose. It didn't bother me that much last week that some effort was being directed in the event - it's HUGE opportunity to plug Bulgarian ski facilities which in turn generates more visitors, which brings in dosh which can be used to develop the facilities.

Personally, I hope it goes well for Bansko so it's shown in a brilliant light so people like Tamara will have no opportunity to spout their mis-info about Bulgarian ski resorts.
