Just a quickie - there are a few of us booking Bansko for March including a couple of guys I play poker with who haven't done Bulgaria before, and who don't own skis.
It seems cheaper to get then the complete ski pack through Balkan then get lift pass, boot hire and ski hire separately. Does the lift pass restrict them in any way as with Borovets or are they okay for the whole mountain?
If you doing booking through balkan or any tour operator go with their full package as you say. If you are doing seperate I can help with package from balkan but it is not as good as their website with full flight, hotel booking etc but is better than prices in town easy when you get here. How many of you coming is Stu coming this year?? Dave has booked 9th - 17th. Bibbly is coming too!!!!
