Is it poss to get a half day lift pass??
Thanks for any info ,

re: ski& boot hire Bansko

can get half day for the afternoon, there are loads of shops near the gondla roughly around 85 euros for skis sticks and boots, although cheaper through tour oporator

We went for half a day last year and bought lift passes off people who were finishing for the day - but we did not go until about 2pm though for them

Nice prices at Method ! are they serious ? have they researched their competition or are they basing their prices on what they pay in Switzerland ?

I have a price list here from a small hire shop about 150 metres from the gondola. Top service, good gear !

Boots Skis and poles 6 days 100 leva kids 75 leva
skis only 75 leva kids 50

private lessons 1 day = 80 leva

Did you book before you went or wait until you arrived?
What are the contact details?
Cheers

i emailed the people at method and asked why they were x4 the price as the usual guys, and he told me it was because they were all english with some qualification or other, mehtinks they wont get much business at them prices, as the bulgarian instructors are really good and speak very good english!

re: ski& boot hire Bansko

who gives a toss whether they are Bulgarian Chinese or English. It's the level of service that counts and that gets recommended by word of mouth. I can't see Method getting many people to recommend them if they find out they have been stung on the first day.
