Visitor Reviews of Bansko

I have just returned from Bansko, 27th of December to the 5th January. These are PEAK times in Bansko. New Year is the busiest time of year in Bansko.
The Skiing was fantastic, It snowed from the 2nd to the 4th, great powder skiing. As for the slopes they were not over crowded. I've been to Italy, France & other resorts in Bulgaria and at the most PEAK time of the year for Bansko, it coped very well.
One thing that will be done is the construction of another gondola. As a Bansko resident, we have been informed that the "Council" has secured 33km2 of land for more pistes and the construction of a gondola to the left of the Kapenski Hotel. Local owners are holding back 1 or 2 Km2 of land but construction will start in the near future.
As for the food, never eat your breakfast from the hotel. If your stomach is used to English food, go to the supermarket and pick up some cereal and milk.
The mexhanas, are fantastic, if you make the trip down Pirin Street to the "Square" you will fine plenty of choice.
The Happy End and Friendly bar (also the soon to be built Guiness Bar) serve a more western European type of food. (i.e burger, chips and sausages)
If you are up the mountain, head down to the Bla, Bla Restaurant, walk towards it then take a sharp left and avoid it. Underneath where the Banslo webcam is situated you will fine great value for money, COMPARE, Top Station of gondola; 2 burgers, 2 chips and 2 cokes 48Lv (About £16). Half way up the mountain NEXT to Bla Bla restaurant, for the same food order, 26Lv (About £8), half the price and the food is twice as good.
As for hotels in Bansko, The people are trying to make money. Really you ask, of course!!
Always check Google Earth before booking. Most hotels will say "only 200m from the gondola" bo**ocks, More like a 1,000m, so check Google Earth first.
At peak times, like on the 2nd of Jan 08 I waited in line for 2hrs to get up the mountain. If you are there at peak times, get there @ 8am, it's well worth it. Also, instead of waiting for ages, the locals taught me a little secret;
go around the right side of the lift station and you will spot a big silver shed, get you lift pass there then go around the back towards the ski road, through the automatic doors and you can get into the Q about half way up!!!
All in all guys, this resort is only 5 years old, it has a lot to offer, it's cheaper than all the other resorts in Europe (inc. lift passes)
I would recommend it to any one.
Plus you can ski to the 18th of April. I did last year, no Q's
Cheers,

Scott
