powder in bansko

hi..
I'll be in Bansko on Sunday.
We are a group of 4 and I'm the only one snowboarding in the group . Others are all skiing. Sad(

I've been snowboarding for 5 years, and I prefer to ski in powder.
Are there any suitable slopes in Bansko for this?

Yes, loads of places to enjoy the powder. There are the tree lines that will be absolutely caked with fresh powder right now. There is also various slopes higher up the mountain where you can find a lot of pwder next to the pisted runs. Also, there is loads of off-piste terrain if you are confident and experienced enough - It is always worthwhile and wise to have a chat with one of the local ski instructors before venturing off-piste in Bansko as it is very easy to get lost and you can often ...

Unless you know the "black spots" when venturing off-piste, you may also get your board/ski's well and truly damaged by the many bouler fields, tree stumps etc. Speak withe a local boarder for advice before going deep off-piste.

Hope that helps. Very Happy Booze

I have to find another snowboarder to go off the piste then.
If you get lost alone, it is more dangerous..and boring
