Very interesting.
The maximum discount for an adult for buying 13 days over a daily pass is a mere 8.9%

And as most people only go for 6 days skiing the saving is a huge 5.6%.

Seems very unusual to have insignificant discount for a longer number of days. Infact there may well be many people who dont ski every one of the 6 days even though they have bought a lift pass... so its free money for Ulen.

Though I guess the number of staff and power to run the lifts will be no different ...

Though I guess the number of staff and power to run the lifts will be no different hence the similar pricing.

45leva for end of season lift pass is kind of rip off .the figure to pay should be the kids price for adults not a stotinka(penny) more.
No lessons learnt me thinks Sad

If the resort is quiet and Ulen know what th bookings are like for the future through Tour operators it would make sense to cut prices that headline will draw in more punters.


That said if I was there I'd hapily pay c£20 per day for quiet pistes.

Guys

I am due in Bansko on 24th March, just looked at the weather forecast for next week - looks really warm somedays may reach 20C - do you think the middle mountain slopes 1600m upwards will still be skiable the following week?
