This YouTube clip gives you a good idea of what Bansko is like

Sure it's no Soelden but then nor is the price.

7th Jan is slap in the middle of Russian holidays and catches the end of the Romanian holidays I'd expect it to be mega busy . Either get to the gondola as it opens or get a taxi up to bunderishka would be my advice , you can lose the will to live in that gondola queue .

re:bansko

time is getting near to pack lets hope for snow,

right the wife is not skiing can anyone recommend a nice mountain bar / restaurant she can chill out in during the day, somewhere close to the lifts where we can all meet up in for food etc, when in pamps we found the lodge ideal base to meet

Either at the top station or shilingarniki , either way she will have to get a gondola pass to be able to get to them , or shuttle

re:bansko

You have the VIP Restaurant at the top of the gondola - on idea how you book it though! There is also a few other places in that area - but Pizza & a Pirinsko is the most popular!

At the base station there is The Happy End & Euphoria not to far - which are the most popular (Go upstairs in Euphoria & sit outside - ask for blankets if its cold).

ahh that is unexpected, someone somewhere said it would be quite, yes we plan to be up early for the gondola each morning.

another obvious question we have booked with Balkan holidays, ski package etc ~( ...

re:bansko

As you have booked with Balkan , Wayne their top rep , will show you where you can leave your gear at night, as usually they use Ulen which is part of main gondola station at base .
