re: bansko

Whoops, you did say the beer was expensive, sorry!. However you say Bansko is no good for skiing, I have had 4 excellent visits, my opinion is that it is far from perfect, but good value for money, most of the time the slope is closed!!, not the case, but i suspect it may have been partially closed during your visit. Very few slopes?, when the resort is fully open there are 60km, more I think than any other Eastern European resort, (i have not included run 14 as i have never seen it open. ...

You say many people but do not explain why it has been so busy, it has been very busy due to holidays and closures of other resorts.
As I said Ulen could certainly improve, often the web site indicates all pistes are open, but when you check the lifts running it means that many of the pistes can not be skied because of the lift closures. Smile Smile Smile

re: bansko

Jimmy, why do you bother coming on a Bulgaria skiing discussion site if all you do is complain about Bansko.

I know if I had a bad experience with a place, I would probably visit their website once and leave a comment, but you have come on here to express negative comments constantly.

OK you decided to go skiing in a Bansko the week before Christmas, a time where history has shown that Bansko doesnt get much snow.

You probably had the responsibility of bringing a group to Bansko, ...

You probably had the responsibility of bringing a group to Bansko, as it was your idea, and now they think you are a joke because they didnt get to ski much.

Tough shit....get over it....just because you didnt research the historical snow conditions in Bansko you think it must be like this all of the time. Its not!!!!

Traditionally Bansko has had great skiing conditions through mid January to mid March. I know this from experience and by research, along with a lot of other people that are going to return to Bansko and have a great time over the next few weeks.

Just because you got caught out and were made look stupid infront of others, dont cause upset to others that have holidays booked when the snow is most likely.

Get over it Jimmy, and book Bansko for 1st week in February next year!!!!

re: bansko

Well said charliemoonhead, Jimmy Jimmy hes our man, if he cant slag it no one can. He does seem rather bitter, if what you say about the group thing is true charlie, then he has only himself to blame, there are many one this forum who would confirm that before Jan is very hit and miss for snow.
8 days and counting. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

re: bansko

I was alone with my wife, and the snow was not the main problem, as I stated before. Come on with some relevant respons- and not stupid and silly spectaculasions. It`s only make you look like a fool.

Make Love not War Guys...

PS for what its worth I took a party of 8 skiing to Bansko last year end of Jan. First visit to this Bugarian Resort, been to Tignes past few years and I've got to say on balance Bansko was the better skiing holiday, good snow, good craic, good value. Yes skiing range was more limited but its not all about marathon mountain runs.
