I used them last year for passes and equipment hire but I think they may have closed down I'm afraid. I checked their website a couple of months ago and they hadn't updated the site for 2011 and now the site has been taken down. Shame as the prices on their site were quite competitive.

The economics of any business this winter took a hammering, the poor conditions not helping towards a stream of visitors. The majority of guests coming in from Greece, Serbia, Croatia etc and these represent the largest visitor groups just did not come, well, not in the numbers that normally would if conditions had been better.

There are still some good established schools, with reasonable prices, so there should not be a problem...

Hi all,

Mark here from Snow and Trail. I can confirm that we closed the business at the end of last season.

This is my 2nd reply to this post, as the 1st seems to have been deleted by the admins. I can't be certain, but I suspect it was because I gave a link to the ski school that I've used for years which was also the same school that Snow and Trail worked with.

I'd really like to know why my post was removed as I spent a bit of time putting together some useful information that I thought would be valuable to others looking for a good ski school.

re: Snow and Trail in Bansko

Mmmmmm, welcome to BG ski Mark. They have commercial obligations to their advertisers, and in that if any post refers to another similar business it will be deleted...
Im assuming this was the reason why your post was deleted. If not the reason then i don't know, you haven't abused Cardiff City by any chance ?? (not that they need it Wink) nor made references to small bald men with glasses ??.... Very Happy
