Skis & instructors in Bansko?

We shall spend nine days in Bansko in February and would like to hire an instructor for only the four of us. Does anyone have an idea if this is possible and if yes, what is the hourly rate?

Op to now I have always rented skis, but I am considering buying them. Are the prices in Bulgaria lower and is there plenty of choice?

re: Skis & instructors in Bansko?

yes that should be fine, it will be a very competitive price for a personal instructor but will get more tuition. buying skis in bulgaria is much cheaper so yes you should consider it

re: Skis & instructors in Bansko?

but even thou its a competitive rate, its alot cheaper than resorts in canada and easten europe. me and my dad paid 45 pounds for an hours tution (he was a ski quide as well and this was in whistler).

Hi I have no experience of this myself but am sure that I heard that you could have personal instruction for a whole day for £30
This is quite likely when you consider their average monthly wage is around £100.
When you find out for certain it would be good to post it here with the deatils of how you arranged it.

Hi Lox,

That price sounds reasonable. After our stay, I will post my experience.

Thanks,
