hey there,
you will have a great time in Bansko! Ski schools usually meet at the top station around 10am, my advice is be at he gondola earlier, say 9 and you'll probabky get a run or two in before you meet up. We usually go up around half 8 and it's fine, pretty much walk straight on. Bear in mind it takes around 25mins in the gondola so it will get horrendously busy soon after 9 because of ski schools but once you're up the mountain queues are usually minimal for other lifts.

Yeah - instructors from the Ski Schools normally meet folks at the top Gondola Station - be aware that there is a mid-station on the way up - you might be tempted to get out here, but just stay in the Gondola until you get to the top. Once you exit the station you should see a large sign with a map of the ski runs about 20 or 30 metres in front of you (or slightly off to the left) - instructors typically meet in this area...

As Rach has pointed out, if you go up a little earlier in the morning the queues are much, much smaller - the Gondola itself typically takes around 20-25 minutes to get from the top to the bottom.
If in doubt, speak to someone at the Ski School

re: queues at gondola/ bansko
Hi all,Thanks for replies, sounds like good advice (note to self: take alarm clock!).
We are going last week of Feb...27th, I think!. It's not a holiday in UK but believe there may be a day or 2 for Bulgarians.
re: queues at gondola/ bansko
Should be no problems with gondola queues around those dates, apart from maybe 09.30 - 10.00, could be up to 15mins
Hopefully the other resorts will have snow then, and not be all over here
re: queues at gondola/ bansko
Hey we're going on the 9th of march. Just wondered if the snow will be any good and what the ques will be like. I have read some really bad reviews and quite worried now. Not enrolled in ski school so any advice on best times to get up there? Thanks.
