re is bansko still a building site ?

there was a posting a couple of days ago and somebody replied it is worse than last year.

I have just been there for two days and there is nowhere near as much building going on .There is still some, but very few lorries.The road down to Simitli, I think that is the name, has improved loads, only maybe 3 bad bits now, the rest is new.

I drove to Sofia in 2 hours from 800 metres from the Gondala.without the bulgarian sport of speeding !!!

The lift companies organisation is useless though.I thought they might have the prices by now, but chance !!

re: re is bansko still a building site ?

Thats good to hear, I was in Bansko in Feb and the apartment we were staying in was in the middle of a bulding site, but it didn't detract from the holiday.
Next Feb there are seven of us going five of which are first-timers.
My only fear is that the slopes won't be able to cope with the increased capacity of the town, especially as we are having to go during half-term.
But looking forward to the skiing, the food and a few cheap Bulgarian beers.

i skied all last year, including the holidays, march was best as it was empty, and the best snow. a fluke i think.

but try to go up early . 08.30 that is the official start, but if you if a pass 08.00 is possible. near 09.00 the schools go up and it is crazy. they will agree to meet you up there though.

re: re is bansko still a building site ?

thanks for that dave. it was me that put this posting on and i wasnt happy when they said it was worse. I did wonder how it could be worse!! I thought it must look better now as the builders go like the clappers. I am coming out for new year and we are getting the keys for our new apt then. hope there will be a big dump by then so not only can we ski but we can have a snowy christmas.

Is it true about them re-doing the two lower runs from the first gondola stop and a restuarant/cafe-bar
