Out in Bansko this weekend

Not long to go now - am heading out for a nice 11 day break Ski & relaxing.

SO... whats the ski conditions like?

Also on the weekend I bought the wife a set of Ski boots - only cost £100 end of season/last seasons boots but they will do the job, so the question is if my wife has her own boots is Ski & Post hire now less ? If so how much?

PP - sorry getting too excited to be as polite as I should be, duly noted.

So with using your own boots vs hiring the whole ski equipment what is the sort of saving?

Did is dump with snow on Sunday in Bansko BBC weather did say it was dumping everywhere Borovets/Pamps & Bansko but no indication of qty.

If you have your own boots it will be cheaper, skis could cost as little as 12lv a day...
Conditions not much improved by the snow on Sunday night, very warm so cutting up after lunch, but low numbers so not to bad...

12lev a day thats not bad at all, when the boot deals come about again think I'll get myself a pair rather have my feet in my own sweat not tens of others...

Temps on BBC forecast showing low 20's and clear blue sky.

We are novices only 7 days on the powder to date & a number of dry ski slope runs. So if the piste's are empty all the better more for us to play on.

Does anyone know the cost in Lev of Pirinski/or any beer up the mountain - am wondering should I take up a 3ltr bottle ...
