How much are tickets and do you need a lift pass in addition to the mens downhill?

I've seen the stand it's pretty big they have been working on the tomba and other posted day in day out this week preparing it it looks very good. Also the new eatery at main station is miles better plus outdoor seating on wooden floors rather than mud or puddles other new lifts are very good too although the drag lift to 3/11 is never on so is that now redundant?

Stand tickets have possibly all been sold now mate. Ask at the gondola?? You will need a pass to get up the mountain. You can still ski as usual bearing in mind some runs will be closed as they have been for last 2weeks. Some people will go up the mountain further to stand around the netting where the skiers will come down. Some great places to get great views near the start etc etc
We are working all weekend so doesnt look like we will see any of it.

The poling area would be nice to have something but dont think it will happen. Usually you can get enough speed up depending on how many people are in the way when trying to get through. Get your ski's waxed give them extra speed ...... hehehehee!!

re: Mens World Cup - Bansko

I have heard tonight that the mountain road from The Mura hotel up past the kempinski will be shut for the weekend.

This may affect people driving up the mountain to miss gondola queues but also transfer companies trying to get to different apartment complexes. We will have to see what happens tomorrow.
