It will be my first time skiing and i wondered if by mid- end of week i will be on Tomba, can anyone explain is it difficult etc???re: Tomba for Beginer?
The tomba is very difficult. It is a black run and not suited to a beginner on their first holiday unless you learn very very quickly.Even some of the blue runs in Bansko are quite challlenging. Not trying to put you off at all. Bansko is lovely but take it one step at a time.
Hope this helps.

Its not as bad as i thought!! Altho its does vear off to the right which looks it
re: Tomba for Beginer?
Don't forget also that photos tend to flatten runs out.
When you get to the top of the gondola you will be able to see it for yourself and decide. Personally I would recommend taking the other chairlift first and doing 6,4 and 1 and see how you go with those.
Just a suggestion. Hope you enjoyed the photos.

Thanks yeah they were great re: Tomba for Beginer?
hmmm i would not suggest it for the first time - i found the reds challenging enough by the end of the week you could just about dso them ok - the Tomba run is pretty much vertical all the way down isn't it Val?re: Tomba for Beginer?
I have to say that I didn't do it. It has been said that many of the runs in Bansko are a lot more difficult than in Borovets and Pamporovo. The most difficult run I did was Red 7 and I found the second half of that steep enough for me. I am only an intermediate and I agree that the Tomba is not really suited to beginners. There was a fatality on it last season too and I feel it demands respect.
At the end of the day though people have to make up their own mind once they get out there. ...
