@penderdan, I've been a few times mid March and conditions have generally been decent with all runs open and good coverage. Last year we arrived around the 7th March and we had around a metre of snow fall that week. The sun came out on our last day. The back end of March can get warm and conditions can turn spring like quite quickly. The first half of March is probably the best time to go.

I have been several time in early - mid March. It is Deffo the best time to go to bansko. Still plenty of snow and slopes are very quiet.

obviously not asking from a recent experience !! if you'd been there recently you'd know why massive investment in lifts/snow cannons and really decent on slope restaurants, mirrors the majority of France for facilities easily.

Friends of mine have been early March last 2 years and booked again for next March. @joydivision, that quote sums it up well, I think, though we are always in the hands of the snowgods and piste bashing staff. Usually in early March late availability deals are to be had...when you have a good idea what conditions are like.

...and outstanding value for money too, if the place meets your needs. Anyway, aren't you still hiding from Mr Corleone of Livigno / Sicily?
