Snowing harder in the last 2 hours, weekend is going to be amazing. Been living here 5 years and never known so much snow for the start of the season.
Hi Andy, so nice. with sunshine on Friday, i rekon Bansko is going to look rather pretty. Everyone, cameras at the ready please!
Great photos !!! I love Bansko. Are they going to open all the lifts and pistes this weekend ???
Hello,
Thank you! Yes, I think many, but not all, the lifts will be open this weekend. A superb start to the season — lots of excitement here.

Ian, Vicki, Nathan and George
we are coming to Bansko for Xmas our first day skiing will be xmas day cant wait loads of snow. we have just booked xmas night at the Victoria
Great photos
Hi Ian and Willie, Thank you, and hope to see you here.
If anyone has a nice Bansko photo they would like lots of people (around 40,000 per month) to view; then just email it to me. I’ll also publish a Christmas / Birthday /Anniversary message if you wish in an article as a thank you.
Hey Lance, a very good webpage, I hope we’ll see you there!
Greetings from Thessaloniki
Ralf 😉
Hi Ralf, Greetings to wonderful Thessaloniki and thank you! More snow arriving Tuesday and Wednesday. So looking good for next weekend…
The wife and I are coming to Bansko for our very Ski/Snowboard holiday on the 28th December. We cant wait and will be following your blog and keeping tabs on the conditions. Keep that snow coming.
great fotos and atmosphere…but…our bulgarian friends are confused thinking that this budget resort is equal to austrian alps…and their prices are rising and rising especially the hotel ones…so…looking at the live cameras the crowd at the opening weekend is less than half compared to last year when the snow was much less …so think about reducing your prices or you will see less and less visitors especially from neigbouring greece that represends the 1/3 of your visitors…
happy ski season…!!!!
Can’t wait to go! Great blog, Lance!
I’m having trouble with the webcam, anyone else unable to see it?
