And do you know of any way of buying one BEFORE going to Bansko?

You should have ordered it when you booked your holiday. They are not sold seperately in the UK.

bugger Sad

oh well, have to try my sources in Boro on Sunday. Seems a weird set-up - how come we can get it at a discount through the holiday companies? Normally they take their cut. V confused, seems the opposite of last season Confused

Because tour companies buy in bulk and can negotiate a lower price, therefore the saving is passed on to their customers. They do not sell seperately as that would mean they would not have sufficent for their customers who were booking the full packages.

pat q - certainly not the opposite to last season the lift passes have always been cheaper to purchase before going and it is the only thing the ski instructors can wangle for you Crying Sorry to be the bringer of bad tidings.

OR you can try and get back in touch with your tour operator... I'm sure they'll be more than happy to take an advance booking if they still have the mechanism to do so because as you say - they'll take their cut!

Very unlikely now.

From previous experiences from other travellers, you should have booked them at the same time as the holiday.

Not trying to rub your nose in it, just giving you the facts.

Don't think you will get one now, not even from the same travel agent.
