Hi Dec, just read that Bansko is opening the Gondolla on Saturday so maybe you wont get to do the admin lol!!!

re: bansko town is covered in snow.

Cheap pass for Saturday and Sunday, 28lv Snow on top looks good, but sunny today though still very low temps... more snow is predicted...
Could this be a change of heart from my favourite people Ulen ??? could this be actually seen as taking advantage of conditions and allowing locals and tourists alike to take advantage of a half price pass ??? Personally i will be driving to Sofia this weekend (no change there then) but hopefully Wendy and and Jess will go up

re: bansko town is covered in snow.

They did this before and had cheap passes until opening day. And Steve you not working Sunday maybe we can all go up

re: bansko town is covered in snow.

ahh.. lets see, I assume just the gondola, no lifts...?
Can anyone recommend any furniture shops in Bansko, where I could pick up some 'rustic' wooden stools/small benches etc. Also I dont suppose there is a photographic shop to print larget posters and frame them etc.?
Or would I be better of looking in Sofia?
Thanks

We are told the chairlifts as well ? but we shall see, Sunday it looks like
There are a few furniture shops, one especially is known to us as they were our landlord and landlady for a few years. Mebili Nanov at the bottom of town near to the Banski Han restaurant, they may not have what you want in stock, but they can normally get most things, and great price
There is a Kodak developer shop near to the Post Office, he may be able to help
