 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Has anyone skied off piste in Bansko and if so what is the extent of the backcountry riding?. I've got the chance to do a cheapie trip out there but have zero interest in piste skiing. I am more than happy to hike to find the goods but just want to know if there is enough outside the ropes to keep me entertained for 3 or 4 days. Ta.

It's ok if you don't mind getting a rip-off taxi back to the Gondola station.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Its good apparantly......if there is plenty of snow ...and you dont mind a little hiking. But you can end up REALLY out of the way so buy a really good map or hire a giude for a couple of days, guiding is uber cheap so not a problem really.

ive heard you turn right when your looking up at the gondola to access it
im there in january so if the snow is decent enough hopefully i might spend all week over that side
might be worth hiring a guide over there to access the decent spots

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You basically end up in the wrong valley with no infrastructure out there at all. The 70Km of pisted skiing in Bansko is essentially one face of one mountain. If you head off over the left face of the Todorka as you look down it, you'll end up miles from the town or a lift.

You'll need to Register first of course.

There's loads of good off-piste but you need to ask the locals for the best routes or get a guide - George at freemountain.com is great.
You can also find some great stuff next door at Dobrinishte and with a couple of little hikes you ski off-piste back over to Bansko which is a good long run.
If you want any info, just pm.
