Hi, Intersport charged 55 euros each for 6 days ski, boots, and stick hire-you can pay with lev as well but they don't take cards.

If you have a nationwide card use that cos they don't chg the 2.75% foreign evchange commission. As I said on Sunday we "only" queued for about 35 mins and we got there just before 9:00, which we were later told was a lot less than some people. Hope this helps. Mal

If you can use balkan to book with then do that, if not go to Intersport and ask for Peter Yonchev, he is my friends nephew - mention that you know me - you never know may get a little discount, tell him I am the girl who went over at christmas with his uncle and wife.re: bansko ski hire
