boro or bansko whats best?

howdy just came back from borovets really liked it there

was thinkin of going again there next yr with an even larger group but was thinkin of maybe goin to bansko for a change

whats ones best?

i know bansko has better lifts and more modern lift pass that u dont have to get out everytime like in boro

but the resort and bars etc look quite spread out

whats pros and conds of them both?

cheers

never been to boro but found bansko great. answer to your other question snow should be good from mid Jan to mid March. we went march last year and the snow was fantastic in fact there was too much somedays.
