can anyone tell me if the ski run colours have changed at the top of the mountain ? ( bansko ) went last year and made mistake of attempting top to bottom run down mountain. my map said blue run but showed red on slopes. really confused and don't want to make same mistake this year, but don't want to be stuck to just skiing on the bottom slopes. its years since i skiied and only really at blue level. are bulgarian slope gradings the same as french, because blue was much easier in france ?
re: bansko ski runs
Im afraid that it is still the case you stated in Bansko!
It is a miss print on the map, It shows run 11 (Plato 2) as being blue but you look at the margin and it shows run 11 as red!
Just recently got back from bansko! My girlfriend who is also a beginner came to the top with me trusting the map and was so scared she nearly refused to ski again!
Thankfully I have skied for years so could help her down!

re: bansko ski runs
great thanks... will try to avoid that run this time then. was really scared that time too, thankfully i found someone to help me down ( i left my beginner parents at bottom you see )re: bansko ski runs
borojim,What are the conditions like on those top runs at the moment? Are they solid ice?
re: bansko ski runs
Yes, they were very icy and quite dangerous when I left last saturday! If there is a good dump of snow they will be fine, they are not serviced by snow cannons so will only get worse until this happens,I persisted to ski the top runs as my skis were hired, they ended up quite damaged from the rocks! Be careful though, by the end of the week I saw 4 people being recovered from the slopes with damaged limbs.
Good challenging resort though, enjoy!
