The first snow has arrived, the temperatures have dropped and suddenly the Bansko ski season feels much closer. It is only the beginning, of course, but there is nothing like seeing the mountain turn white to get everyone thinking about their next trip.
Take a look inside Ski Mania
In this recent update, I also take you inside the Ski Mania shop, where the team is getting ready for the season and the equipment is prepared for the conditions ahead.
The pre-season feeling is back
Bansko has had a busy summer, but the change in temperature is a timely reminder that winter is not far away. The first snow is always exciting, even if the weather will naturally move around before the season settles in. I am looking forward to the weeks ahead: watching the mountain, preparing for the first proper ski days and seeing the town come alive again.
If you are coming this season, now is a good time to get the essentials sorted. Flights, accommodation, transfers, ski hire and lessons are simpler to organise before the busiest dates arrive.
