Hi
A lift pass is 280 leva, just over a 100 pounds for 6 days you can pay by credit card, unless you come with a tour operator when you can get it cheaper through them

50 leva a day
35 leva for half day (after 12 noon)
you can also buy 2 7 3 day passes
hope this helps

you will if you book it thru your tour operator. This is one instance where you don't want to cut out the middle man. I can see your hol costing a good deal more than a package deal would have done.

There is no way of buying a lift pass in bansko anywhere except the lift station unless you come with a tour operator ie balkan or neilson from the uk
ski/boot/poles will cost about 38 pounds (depending on the exchange rate) for 6 days.

last year I got a private package through the ski shop in the hotel olymp (In borovets) where skis, boots and a 6 day pass came to about £100. I never booked before I got there because I got the deal last minute and the tour operator wouldn't sell me anything. Which worked out even Cheaper!

i'm guessing you will be able to get a similar deal when you get there, just go to a local rental shop and see what packages they do.
