bus/taxi from borovets to other resorts early January

Hi, as I知 arriving 2nd of January to Borovets I know that the snowfall may not be wonderful, are there shuttle busses, coaches or taxis that will be available to take my friend and I to another resort? If so what would the cost involve and additionally is there anything close to Borovets that could be done in a day? For example Bankso? Is it possible to travel, snowboard and return same day?

Thanks

Bansko is approx 140km from Borovets, and is likely to take you around 1hr 40m - 2hr. The road is reasonable and generally clear of snow, or at least passable...
Perhaps better to try to organise a private hire for the day, as a cab is likely to be in the region of 200lv...
Perhaps a little early to be to dismissive of snow, lets keep our fingers crossed for a good season Very Happy

last year i think we paid about 350 lev for an 8 seater minbus and it took 2 hours... we arrived in bansko about 10am and skied all day getting back in borovets about 1930.. however give the snow gods a chance!!!! its very unlikely you wont be able to ski.
