bansko ski road details please?

Hi

I am going to bansko in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone could please tell me more about the ski road down as an alternative to the gondola. Is is skiable the entire way or is there endless pumping with poles and sections requiring one to skate/walk?

Many thanks

Sam

excellent that is good news. I read a dodge report that said it was 17km! I had nightmares that it was virtually a cross country track.

Have a good holiday

You can board all the way if you are a reasonable boarder and well worth it.

rudolf, your a great guy, and thanks. Although I am a great boarder, one has to admit the road can get tiresome on the legs, and if you wipe out going at speed, it can smart a little
