Mytery Green Run in Bansko???

Just been looking on openpistemap.org and in Bansko it shows a green run at the bottom of Red/Blue 12 which links up with Chalin Valog. I've never noticed it in the 4odd times I've been there - does anyone know if it's usable at all?

re: Mytery Green Run in Bansko???

Yes, totally, it links to the middle station of the gondola.. Both runs off the top are black, don't be fooled by the path that leads into the red at Chalin Valog, its very tricky for lower skilled skiers/boarders (especially boarders), we call it the `skittle alley'
but both runs at Chalin Valog are brilliant, especially the long black, makes Tomba look like a nursury slope...

Totally agree about the Chalin Valog, tried the runs for the first time last year afer 4 years visiting. It was champagne skiing with hardly anyone else about. The black is possibly my favourite run in the resort and has the added bonus of a bar right next to the lift. Worth an hour of anyones time !

Cheers Steve(s)... So is the green bit pretty narrow then? On the map it looks like it crosses a road?

re: Mytery Green Run in Bansko???

Basically as you come down to the base of red 12 and the lift, keep going and you will cross the bridge over the mountain road. The trail is wide, only narrowing a bit where there is a drop and a rise, before getting to the middle station... As you leave the middle station on the gondola, look over to the left, and you will see the trail adjacent to you...
