that's rather good! I'm not convinced you'd have had a reply if you'd sent that email to a French resort.

Last year they closed more than just the tomba. They closed the reds above the tomba as well. Basically the right hand side of the mountain was off limits. I was not there, but I heard the rest of the mountain was very crowded. It may be better this year if they do only close the tomba, but I cant see it myself.
Cheers

jwm59, the skiing will be what it will be. You cant control the pistes and the amount of snow, but you can control the places to enjoy your apres. Make the effort to wander into the old town and try some traditional mehanas. Dont just stick to the english style restaurants. You will have a great time. I have been several times and love the place. We bought a place out there 5 years ago and have just sold it, but we still intend on going to Bansko because it is such a lovely place.

Hi All,
I also contacted the organisers andwas told that 5 pistes would be closed. Tomba ,Todorka ,Balkaniada, Banderitza 1,Banderitza 2. Not sure whether this was for the full week or just the weekend. I know pistes will be closed for practice.
I am there for the first time during half term hols and am concerned we may have got it wrong this time.

They do close Tomba, and well in advance so that they can prep it for the race. Also the red slopes above that are usually closed. Sometimes the squiggly red down to Shilingarnika is open which is one of the better runs in resort. On race day there will be a couple of training courses set up on blue 5 but mostly very early in the morning. The resort is getting better at managing the chaos with the aforementioned addition of the buses and they also open the gondola early for the race teams. New chair up the plateau means that staying up top and getting laps in is possible without troubling the race side of the mountain. The main bottleneck on the mountain is the chair from the top of the gondola over towards Shili, but if you get through that early and stay on the opposing side of the mountain you will be good.
With the amount of snow kicking around at the moment then the blacks from mid station down Chalin Valog are actually better runs than the Tomba. Never tends to be busy down there either and if you can find the Hotel Izvorite then you are in for a lovely cheap lunch up on the hill. Think this is the only mountain food which is not owned and run by the mountain now.

You know it makes sense.

Thanks for that, doesn't sound quite as bad. I had images of spending the whole week confined to 2 runs on the left side.
We can't grumble though, as we didn't do the homework properly. Still, never seen a world cup so hopefully this will make up for it. I don't think my two young children will be impressed though!
We will have to be in the gondola queue from 8.00am.
