2 of us heading to Bansko March 4th.
We have been numerous times over the years.
Anyone recommend a guide or group of who would show us some of the off piste routes. We are quite competent and confident enough skiers. We are not looking to ski off the north face of the Eiger or anything like that but depending on conditions at the time would like to go off the beaten path a bit. We have been down into the bowl off to the right of Tordorka many times and are now looking for a bit more ...
