First time snowboarding for me and my husband Phill. Heard a lot of mixed reviews about bansko.
Only ever been to the snowdome so we have no idea what to expect from a resort? It sounds as if you guys know what you are talking about though, so has any body been to Bansko? Any thing we should know bfore setting off? Any tips would be a graet help

lovely resort only word of advice is to never order anything without knowing how much it costs first, if its not on the menu do not order it , only resort in Bulgaria I have come across that can sting you with crazy prices for food and wine by offering you the house special - other than that its lovely and you must have a banana and chocolate pancake on the way back from sking one night, from the little hut on the main road below the gondola they are divinere: off to Bansko for the first time tomorrow!

My advice is:
Eat out in the little mehanas, how ever if you are fussy about your food make sure you know what you are getting (the menu translations are not so descriptive).
Don t be offended by the way Bulgarians speak to you, it sometimes can seem like they are being aggressive or rude, just remember they are speaking to you in our language.
At the lift queues, do as everyone else does! muscle in, if you don t someone else will!
Gondola queues, was in Bansko last year about ...

Gondola queues, was in Bansko last year about this time, always went really early or about ten oclock and never had a problem with queueing. but it could be different this year.
Most important, enjoy yourself and make the most of your trip.

take some good walking boots as the roads and pavements are or wore very uneven last year,eat out the food is fantastic hotel food not so good.
if you get a taxi anywhere agree the price first,
other than that have a good time

All good advice, thanks guys. Has any one done the tuition? Not so sure about how you know where the lessons are and where you get the hire stuff from? It will probably all become clear, just a bit worried cos I have never been on a holiday were a rep meets you at the airportre: off to Bansko for the first time tomorrow!

With Balkan Holidays last year, the rep that met us at the airport stuck us on a bus to bansko, gave us an information pack which had a meeting time and place the next morning (it was about 8 oclock) where we got our lift passes and vouchers for kit hire. I m not sure about lessons, but i would imagine that they give you all the details for that at the same time.re: off to Bansko for the first time tomorrow! Any tips or advice from you pros!
didnt do the lesons in bansko but as you get off the gondla walk down the few steps look right and you will see a red sign i think that was the colour with ski school meet place written on it.re: off to Bansko for the first time tomorrow! Any tips or advice from you pros!
