Hi Sunny, big crowd of us arrive on the 15th from SKIDVD,we will be in the Friendly bar in the hotel Fortuna on Saturday night come and say hello. Should be easy to spot as some will have blue SKIDVD T Polo shirts on.

Private lessons should be no problem just ask around. Enjoy Booze

Hi Sunny,

I'm snowboarding next week in Bansko. Reckon we might be on same flight .. from Heathrow? We're staying in the Hotel Perun and i'll be doing the Learn to Snowboard course - went to Borovets three years ago but reckon i'll have forgotten how to board by now!

See you at Heathrow!

Yeah thats right ... super Balkan Holidays!

Not sure what time the lessons start and where we meet but guess they'll tell us that on the coach / on arrival!

Going with my girlfriend but she's skiing ... just hope there's enough snow .. seen 10cm forecast for Monday 18th though so should be good.

Very Happy

Hi Sunny
We are travelling out on 15th from east mids, Staying at Narcis Spa Apts. We also have family staying in Strazhite Hotel from 15th ( can't wait lol!)
We were in Bansko in January and our 2 teens did the learn to snowboard package while we skied.
The lessons usually start at 1000 and everyone tends to meet at the top of the gondola station.
The skiers tend to hang around flag B to wait for the instructors and the boarders are right outside the gondola station.

Tuition was pretty good and my son was doing blue runs on his 4th day. My daughter broke her wrist on 3rd day when a skier wiped her out Sad
Hasn't put her off though, which is why we are going back out next week !
We loved everything about Bansko, and even the huge amount of construction couldn't put a damper on it !
Give the Friendly Bar a try as Daniel Snell said, it had a great atmosphere and the food was good !
