The park should be much improved on last year as the Burton tour hits Bansko mid Feb, fingers crossed it might be OK Cool

re: Halfpipe - Bansko

Hi,
We were in Bansko last year, and will be out there next week, but I still haven't found the halfpipe or the snowtowers/cones that everybody talks about. Apparently the halfpipe is neear the snowtowers/cones, which isn't much use if you can't find them.
Have you got any idea where it is, or where you can find any pics on the web?
Cheers

re: Halfpipe - Bansko

the pipe is in the bunderitsa polyana ( not sure on spelling) on the left hand side as you are looking out from the gondola. saw it when i last went out two years ago and it could bearly be called a half pipe. if fact i wouldnt call it a half pipe. i've seen it in photo's this year and it looks the same. i may be wrong but i wouldnt get your hopes up. lets hope the park is better this year. out on the 10 th March.

have fun Very Happy

hi Phil,
Thanks for the reply. I think I know where you mean, it's where the ski map has always shown it, but last year there was nothing there.
Run 1 (the ski road) comes down to the Gondola station, and in the area where it should be is a 4man chair, and a kids slope with conveyor belt lift, but no half pipe (unless they've hidden it somewhere!!)

If I find it I'll let you know.
Cheers
