Still the same chips, we are in Bansko now and to be honest could do with some snow in town to tidy it up a bit, its a bit grim but snow at top good.

It depends when you will go.During Cristmas new years eve and greek bank holidays it might take you 1,5-2 hours.But if u go early u will be able to avoid large queus.I was this christmas, went early and only waited 20mins.Some friends came half an hour later and they waited more than an hour.

Come on guys, if you've gone there to ski (or board of course!), make the effort and get your butt out of bed.

Incidentally, the skiing's great that time in the morning, pretty much had the slopes to ourselves for the first couple of runs. One final comment, it rained in the middle of our week, even up top, and we got so wet we had to pack up at 12.30. Can't ever remember skiing in the rain in January, global warming perhaps!
