hey there,i have riden the ski road in bansko several times on a snowboard in march and it was pritty good! there is some points where it goes alittle flat, but its mostly rocking!

Hate to disagree Kristian, but it's little short of hard work, but sometimes preferable to the garlic scented gondola ride. It's much easier on skis.

If you can ride flat out over washboard at 35mph you'll be ok, as nowhere can you afford to shed speed. If you glide it really well, and the snows not too soggy, then you may get down without unclipping to scoot. But even if you have feet of iron, they'll still ache for ten minutes after so go and have a pint in the bar by the ...

Good luck and enjoy your holiday. We go back out late Feb.

re: bansko ski road
yeah i kinda under stated the skiroad, it is abit of a pain in the arse, but the bits that are of a good gradiant and rideable are very funny for jibbing.maybe not what u want to be riding after a long day!
re: bansko ski road

re: bansko ski road
I went a while ago and is flat in places and need to use the poles as a skieris well worth going down the mountain this way though in my opinionre: bansko ski road
Yes, it is tyhe road that will take you back down to the bottom gondola station. You can even ski from the very top of the mountain all the way down to the bottom gondola sttaion if you feel like it and it is a really good experience if you know how best to link the various runs on the mountain.re: bansko ski road
When we were in Bansko in late april we drove up the mountain to where the web cam is. I am assuming that the road we drove up, is the road you can ski down? Or is that no the case.If it is, then that would be awesome to ski down
