borovets to bansko?

Hi, I tried to search for this before asking but came up with nothing, so if it has been asked im sorry.....
Does anyone know if it is possible to transport for borovets to bansko for a day only return? Im going to borovets on 3rd March (boarding) and thought it would be good to try bansko aswell as they have a board park but I'm not sure how far away it is and how hard it would be to get to and from in 1 day. Anyone know? Ta.

i think its possible db.

During the week of the 29th jan, some people were being bused from bansko to borovets due to the lack of snow.

Dont know how long exactly, but should be feasable

Hire a car and drive the back way through Samokov to Dupnitsa and you should be there in a couple of hours, especially as the new road is now open.
I would, however, check if the board park actually exists because usually they only make it very late in the season - at the moment there may not be enough snow base.
