Skiing, Snow & The Resort
Information on the Bansko ski Resort, and extra services.

- New runs and new chair lifts to be added for this coming winter 2010/11.
- The highest peak is 2900m with 'a ton of off piste' to explore amongst many tall Pine trees reminiscent of the Rockies.
- There are also a great number of ski runs to suit both beginners and experts with a final run into town providing a gentle ski home at the end of the day.
