Sorry Bansko not this Season.

Well after 6 seasons we decided to have a change.
Have just booked an apartment in La Thuile, Italy, we wanted to have a change and a bigger choice of slopes.
La Thuile is ideal as we are driving down and will be able to ski the other resorts in the Aosta Valley, so weather permitting will ski in 3 countries and up tp 500km of slopes to choose from.

We havent turned our back on Bansko, we love the place and will be back, probably in 2013, or maybee a short break in March if the bank ...

Prices are not to bad in the Aosta area, about 3-4E for a small beer, and a simple meal for 10-12E. They had great snow last season, possibly the best in the Alps/Dolomites...
Have a good one mate, we'll keep your barstool warm Wink

re: Sorry Bansko not this Season.

Thanks for the kind words Steve and Wendy, yes steve we decided on the Aosta area due to the usually good snow, and if worst scenario happens there is always Cervinia to almost guarantee good snow.

We are looking forward to different types of terrain we will come across, but are planning it to be more of a relaxing break as far as the evenings go so that we can use the car for trips to other resorts.

But as Arnie would say, i'll be back.
