hi jeff

we're on that flight aswell(if it is the aerlingus one) on sat,
JJ Murphys will surprise you.. a proper bar really well done was having a pint with the owner last week good food aswell, hard to find as he says people keep taking down his signs and posters, relatively quiet as is hard to find i suppose but worth it... see you guys there...

Yes my daughter will be in Ski School ... but I reckon it will be pretty quiet so the numbers in the class will be low enabling her to progress quite quickly .. well that's the plan anyway!!! ...

Over the years of going there I have got know a few of the instructors .. so they should look after her ok

hi kelly
it's just behind the hotel lion which is about a 8-10 minute walk from the gondola...( down to traffic lights turn right walk for about a good 8-900 yards then right) you walk up past the front entrance and there's a road/what looks like a road(this is bansko after all) directly after the hotel to the left walk down (you still won't be able to see jj's yet) its in the second building on the right slightly around the corner.. i know directions sound quite vague but it's there... ...

hey jeff..
i learned to ski in austria about 8 years ago and the guy who taught me always took me for 2 hot wines every morning... relaxes the body and soul.. only problem was we'd have 2 more for lunch then more in afternoon and by the end of the day you could drop me off the mountain and i wouldn't feel a thing...
always have a wee drink to calm the nerves....
the most important thing is to remember its a skiing...HOLIDAY... some people tend to forget that
after all we're never going ...
