Ski hire is a significant part of a ski holiday’s expense — and one worth saving cash on, but certainly not worth sacrificing quality, or choice, for. I’m familiar with the first day hassle; hire, pass, lessons… comparing hire rates… So join many others who have enjoyed a smooth start to their Bansko holiday whilst saving money. Group class sizes are generally under eight persons but most often under six.
Bansko 2010: your children will love skiing. Invest in quaity instruction and they will proficient in no time.
Why Prepay?
Turning up in any ski resort and hiring your gear is fine…but you generally will pay more than you need. Bansko hire shops want more business for hire and lessons. And they like prepay so that they can be sure of demand. This saves them money — which they pass on in the rates they offer BanskoBlog readers.
I’ve been working with several long standing reputable ski service providers, who all enjoy a fine reputation for quality service, small class sizes and reliability. Many instructors I know personally and can vouch for their teaching skills.
Eight Reasons For Pre Bookng Your Hire And Lessons With BanskoBlog
- be prepared for your first day — ski rental pick up on arrival in Bansko ready for your first day on the slopes (up to 10:00pm by prior arrangement)
- flexibility to change up to VIP skis, or add more lessons — lock in your discount for those extras
- relaxation, no walking in ski boots — free ski/board and boot storage
- convenience — hire centres within 50m of the gondola
- experienced and knowledgeable staff in the business for 8+ years
- skis and snowboards are serviced before you hire them, many are new and are a maximum of two seasons old
- peace of mind that your English speaking instructor is properly qualified to teach you and your children in Bansko
- VIP skis available from the big brands — cheaper than owning if you fly low cost airlines

Does PrePaying For A Lift Pass Always Save Money?
There is a risk that adverse weather may prevent skiing on all six days, or indeed you fancy a day off. If this concerns you, my advice is: do not pre book your lift pass. The saving is not big enough to compensate for a day off the slopes. Check out 09/10 lift prices: http://banskoblog.com/2009/12/bansko-lift-pass-prices-2010/ to help decide.
A day’s rest from skiing can be a fascinating cultural experience in Bulgaria or can be a spa and shopping day.

To order your discounted lift pass Adult 6 Days is 137 EUR (in resort 147 EUR) and Child EUR 83 (in resort EUR 87.44) please subscribe for your form and complete for lift pass only.

BanskoBlog Ski Package Testimonials
“Hi Lance, first of all may I thank you so very much for arranging our lift passes and equipment hire, everything ran smoothly and arriving on 8th March we had an incredible week! Snowing constantly for the first 3/4 days and then glorious sunshire afterwards! I booked through yourself at BanskoBlog.com, no complaints what so ever! Bansko Ski Mania the ski hire company are literally at the bottom of the slopes, friendly staff, excellent well serviced equipment. Lift passes were ready for us when we arrived and we could even pick them up the day before, so no delays on our first day of skiing! Also an excellent saving on the prices we saw in resort! Thank you once again!” — Simon Froggatt (UK)
Thank You.

Please send lift pass info
Hi Mark,
Only 6 day lift passes may be reserved 7 days ahead. Please email me if ou require more info.
Thanks, Lance
what time do the hire shop and gondola lift open
Hi Victoria,
The hire shops open at 7:45 and the gondola lift opens for the general public at 8.30am. It can get very busy so if you can get to the gondola earlier that can save time — however this is not always true! Have a great trip to Bansko.
Lance
We would like to purchase a 6 day lift pass from you today but we need the lift pass from the 17th Feb (less than 7 days). Is that possible? Thanks Robyn.
Hi there,
i'm coming to Bansko for 4 days at the beginning of March- cant wait! As its only 3 days on the piste is the best option to just get daily passes?
Hello,
Buy a 3 day pass or daily pass. Enjoy Bansko.
cheers Lance. is there a lot of queueing in the morning for skis and the gondola normally?
Hi Blair, out of peak season, its fine for gondola.
No queue for you r skis from ski shop, in general.
Early March is generally a v good time to go skiing anywhere — but weather is weather. Slush in town this evening – but snow should be good in the (Saturday) morning.
Nice post you got here. It would be great to read something more about that theme. Thanks for sharing this material.
Thanks Phil, Good idea! There are several traps for the unwary when it comes to ski instruction. Most commonly Bansko has many unlicenced and unqualified instructors. It's not worth the risk trying to save by using these people. I only recommend a handful of instructors that I personally know.
Agree with that one fully. Another thing to have in mind is always to have a full mountain insurance. If you get involved in accident and need rescue it is pricey.
Hi Jordan
thank you for this timely remnder. Insurance is essential, and athough, lift passes bought direct from Ulen (the lift company) include mountain rescue. they do not cover you once you need treatment in Bulgaria.
If you are an EU citizen, you should carry a European Health Insurance Card "EHIC" card. Please read this link, http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/EHI... if you are from the UK — it tell you what the EHIC covers. Please note it does not replace private insurance, as you say!
You need private insurance for special flight home and private care but read policy terms v carefully.
