anyone flying from manchester to bansko on the 4th of feb? never been to bansko any good for a decent rider, and one last thing any info on there park and pipe, heard they might have one?
For a really decent rider you'll struggle though there are plenty of areas to get a mighty fine carve on. The bottom of the "Tomba" you can really get a lick on. Was out there over xmas and the "pipe" was still a pipe dream and the "park" didn't exist. There's some good off piste but make sure your insurance is in place because ther are a LOT of rocks and 18" stumps, often nicely disguised under 2" off snow. Not really a "hard core" place, yet, though it could be. Should be going back later ...

Should be going back later in Feb because as a package, particularly as a holiday rather than a challenge it has it's merits, mainly, though not exclusively, from a cost point of view. Not as "stuffy" as some alpine gigs though not as laid back as the far west. Doubt you'll be disappointed, but have a good one all the same. John.
nice one john, cheers for the info, and sarah, cant remember the name of the hotel but it has a pool? see u in departures! me and a mate of mine are going, driving down from scotland!
