Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Don't worry, the only down side is the amount of building thats going on, but I didn't go for a sightseeing holiday I went for a skiing holiday and the views from the mountain are great and the skiing was the best in Bulgaria.
Another reason I went to Bansko was to try and experience a little bit of Bulgaria. When I go on holiday I refuse to go into British/Irish pubs or eat a full English breakfast, I go on holiday to get away from all that, these are the sort of places that you find the trouble.

Just come back and had a great time. Like others said, there is a lot of building work going on but you do not see it on the slopes or when you are in the hotel or restaurant.
Instrutor was v. good, the skiing was excellent. There is also the ski road which you can ski right back into the town.
The Happy Bar (opposite the Gondola) was v. expensive but the only place I felt I got got ripped off.
I would really recommend going to the town square and eating at some of the traditional restaurants on it. There is one with a pool inside on your right as you enter the sq. behind a garden and one on the left further down.
Have a great time, I did.
