Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Had a great first day boarding yesterday, although some of the slopes were closed due to high winds.
They opened some of them in the afternoon, and wow was it sindy up at Todorka! Good conditions though.

Looking up at the mountain right now, no winds and lots of blue sky.

Snowed up there Saturday night and loads due for tomorrow/wednesday.
The locals are friendlier than ever.

The town is still wearing that building site look, but it's getting there.

We're staying at Lucky Bansko, and it's top class. Food, staff, spa centre and rooms are great size. I'd definitely recommend it.(free internet too in loby and games room in basement)

OK, over and out from Bansko for the moment!

What is the 245hr bar like and what about the saunas big indoor pool etc?

The brand new supermarket is a couple of mins walk from there and round that area there are relaly nice traditional resteraunts which are really cheap. I went to one beside the bridge (between the hotel and the mountains literally a mins walk from the hotel) its on the corner and has a huge outdoor area the food & drink in there (Pirinski) is really good Value and very good - we went there quite a few times an in the summer spent one long afternoon sipping many many drinks. They also have live music too playing at your table which is sometimes a little odd but they are great musicians and good singers.

Inside looks really good & big open fires.
