re: Just back from Bansko

Will there be runs closed between the 1st and 8th due to the race?

Yes, that is what I am told.

The stones/rocks were worse today.

Shelly, don't worry too much about your board, enjoy it and if the base looks wrecked with scratches hopefully all it needs is a bit of repair and waxing ready for your next trip, I get my board made new again at the end of each holiday in the resort cheaper than here, for me anyway. Wink

Cool, thanks Joe.
I just hope a bit of fresh snow finds its way to the slopes at the weekend Very Happy

Lawyer237,can you pick up the stones please and fill in the holes in town?? Wink

Also just back. Very warm - 19degrees in the town in the afternoon!

Had to laugh though when one guy (not British) flew off the side into the stream - Very lucky NOT to hit a tree but still needed the skidoo down.
Have to say that the kids LOVED it - ski ...

Have to say that the kids LOVED it - ski school excellent, but the extensive building work made the town look dirty and very unfinished. I fear that Bansko will become a victim of its own success because when all the apartments/hotels are finished and full, the slopes will never be able to take the load. I hope to return in the summer because I believe the walking is superb. Does anyone know of any climbing schools that operate?
