was in Bansko 1st week in Feb and yes you could ski right down to the gongola station, but bottom half was from the snowcannons I think. Not sure about current conditions tho.
Came back from Bansko yesterday and yes people were skiing right down to the gondola. The snow cannons were keeping a layer of snow on the ski road but friends said it was very flat near the bottom and you needed to pole for long and very tiring distances.
