It looks like Bansko only has one black run-is this correct and if so how difficult is the Tomba Black for a fairly novice skier?How do the other colours red and blue pan out in Bansko-I've heard that they are more difficult than other ski places -or is that just what all skiers say?
re: Tomba -Bansko -How difficult
It's a BLACK run - that means it's difficult for anybody
(although Alberto might find it OK

If your going to give it a go you have to be pretty committed, no sneaking off either side, it is a black run as Julie said, I am quite handy on a snowboard and it didn't look much fun to me last year, certainly not on the list for this year either, plenty of blues & reds to keep you occupied.

If you are a novice you do not need to worry about black runs.re: Tomba -Bansko -How difficult
Seriously now blueski - I've been to Bansko several times and class myself as an ok intermediate (ok I'm a bit chicken as well), but there is no way on god's earth that I think I could get down there without traversing all the way down till about 100metres from bottom!! I certainly wouldn't have done it at a 'fairly novice' level. If you do, make sure you've got very good insurance - and try not to get in the way of all the skiers who are competent enough to ski that run - I don't think ...

There are loads of good long blue and red runs that you can improve your skiing on in bansko, so as Daniel says you don't have to worry about the Tomba yet.

As Julie mentions 'novice skiers' can be a danger on the piste, as a snowboarder lower down a red run, recently in Austria, I was taken out by a 3rd week novice skier, he broke his nose on the back of my helmet and 20 metres down the slope broke his arm badly along with a neck and back injuries, the doctors on the slope weren't impressed that him and his chums were on a red run and when he regained consciousness they told him off for not wearing a helmet, he remained in hospital when his ...
