Think season at Bansko finishes either week ending Sun 5th or week ending Sun 12th.

Rumour of gondola closing 12th April, that does not always happen as was same last year and it ran till 24th. Fantastic snow here at the moment in Bansko, and more forecast. Really low temps so conditions set to continue. Very quiet in resort, but enquiries seem to indicate a late rush for the good snow, also lift pass price comes down after April 1st Very Happy

Going up today as the top of the mountain will be open after being closed due to high winds, doubt i will be seeing many people ...

Due to the lack of people, Im worried they will close things down early. Im flying out on the 4th April, not sure what resort yet but I think my best bet is borovets again. Don't get me wrong I like Borovets but fancy trying some of the runs at Bansko.

I could not think of anything better to do with my "gardening leave" than skiing.
