The Flexible World Of VIP Skis & Boards

This year there are brand new VIP Salomon Race 2V and 3V and Tornado VIP skis and Burton snowboards. All highly recommended for experienced skiers and snowboarders.

New Salomon Skis In BanskoSkiMania

Twin Tips (For fun park and tricks) Salomon Thruster and Ten Eighty and All Mountain Skis (for off and on piste) Salomon XWing and Atomic models. You choose which model on arrival, but then if you fancy a change then you get a FREE swap of skis or board (subject to availability) to suit you and the day’s conditions. A fresh dump of snow could give you bragging rights over your mates — as you head out with the right skis for the conditions.

Such flexibility you would expect to pay a huge premium for. But for early booking with BanskoBlog, you still receive your discount and a price from just £8.15 (9.40 EUR) per day.

Same Quality Tuition: Mix and Match Private and Group Lessons

If you want to make a huge step up in your ability this season, like I experienced last season, then think about booking private lessons. If you have been skiing or boarding for a few years now, and feel as if you have not progressed as much as you would have liked: or perhaps you struggle off piste or on hard packed or icy snow, then you will benefit from professional instruction. Why not book a private instructor for you and your friend(s)? It is one reason why so many come to Bansko and why they return.

The guys and girls from the banskoskimania team are experienced for teaching beginners right up to seasoned experts (see You Say section) and from the youngest up to late starters. Excellent English is spoken by all instructors. All are fully qualified ski/board instructors; and all fully insured. Russian spoken by many instructors. Other languages, e.g Greek and French by request.

Lift Passes

Gondola KIOSK. Open 08:30 to 17:30. A quick digital photo taken by kiosk staff for passes valid for two days plus.

Tips Of The Day:

Buy winter sports insurance. EU reciprocal arrangements do not include all medical expenses and certainly not emergency repatriation. Lift pass insurance is not sufficient holiday cover.  moneysavingexpert.com for best buys.

Book winter short break flights now for March. Thessaloniki airport , in Greece and Plovdiv airport in Bulgaria  could be good alternatives to Sofia airport.

Make sure your apartment is insured. Every year apartments are damaged through leaks and burst pipes. Contact me for an insurance quote. Be sure to read the small print.
