HiMyself and 4 friends will be in Bansko in late March. Having never skied before, we will definitely be needing lessons. Would it be better/cheaper to book the ski package offer from this website (full ski equipment + ski school 4 hrs/day + ski evening + lift pass) or wait until we get there?
Thanks
re: Ski Package
go with the package, not sure how it compares on price but much less hassle!
i even did last year although i then spent half my holiday with my group and the other half having private lesssons with my instructor from the year before
re: Ski Package
Thanks Katy. I emailed the guys from this site last week but have so far had no reply.Private lessons eh
re: Ski Package
Yes, private lessons from a friend!! worth it tho cos my skiing improved loadsre: Ski Package
The last time I went skiing, I was 8, so it will be like starting from scratch.Is it easy to hire ski equipment and book tuition when you're over there? I may need to do so if these guys don't get back to me in time.
Cheers
re: Ski Package
Booking with the package is better as all the hassle is gone, you get there and start your holiday and not having to start booking your lessons, I have also been advised that it is cheeper that way as most tour companys will block book and pass on a discount to customers, the choice is yours, have a good trip which ever way you choose re: Ski Package
agree that you dont want to start off with the hassle of having to arrange lessons and equipment, and if you're arriving on a saturday then sunday will be manic with everyone else gettin their equipment/instructors etc so you'll want it as easy as possible.
you've got a while so hopefully they'll get back to you, hey and if not I know a great instructor! If you're all novices, ie the same level, Im sure he'd help you out
last time when you were 8? like riding a bike Im sure... although ...

re: Ski Package
Thanks guys.Funnily enough, I just had a reply off the website - someone must be reading the forum
Thanks for the offer of a ski instructor - I'll be in touch if I'm struggling to get anything organised.

This happened last year we could not get lessons when we arrivd as it was so busy so we spent the first day mesing on nursery slopes wasting a day... After all my mails and hassle and worry thatthe slopes are very icy and I woul kill myself I called my tour op today ( crystal ski) and booked ski school for us both ... In the end it only cost an extra €100 on our package already booked ( 50 each ) well worth it even if I only go for first few days!! So my advice book it all before you go!!!!
