Thank you for these ideas, the trekking and summer activities are something I am working on. Skiddo hire I can do, but have noit had time to promote on the blog…shame on me, as it's so much fun.

I have resisted drinks include package as I have seen the tour guides take groups round the pubs in Bansko. They have a lot of fun — but not sure. Maybe a wine tasting evening would prove a good idea, what do you think?

Thanks for your comment – i so agree with you. I am a better skiier and have never enjoyed skiing so much as now – all down to taking lessons with decent and qualified instructors.

This season the feedback on the standard of instruction in Bansko has been excellent: seems to surpass what some experience in France. but this is a generalisation which is probably wrong! But I can say the instruction is much better in Bulgaria than most people expect.

I provide a separate instructor booking service just for a few instructors that have proved to me by teaching me that they are committed and good enough. This pays me a commission and helps keep the site (and feeding me) and enabling me to share Bansko info and tips.

I could chargeinstructors for a listing. I'll look into that. At the moment my booking service for subscribers seems to be very popular. I think this is because it's a flexible service. Emails are answered and there's a load of flexibility: length of instruction, start time, family and private lessons. And of course you can book ski hire and get transfers all at deals not available through direct enquiry to the shop. But I may have a slightly more automated system for next year. Not sure, what do you think?

I am interested in what services would you like to me to provide if only I was smart enough to develop them and capable enough to provide them to a high standard. No promises but I am all ears.

thanks again, Lance

thanks for the great blog.
