Snow is falling, by rydal on Nov 14, 2007 19:41:14 GMT 1, Here is my place in Bansko in early October;
Here it is a few days ago!!
Bansko is not as cheap as it was but ยฃ65k should still get you a decent sized 1 bed near to the gondola with good facilities (pool, spa, gym, ski locker etc). Loads on investment going into the infrastructure and mountain (2 new pistes opening this season) and easy jet has just starting flying to Sofia. Prices are rising on paper but still lots of new apartments going up, location is everything. Also has an Ian Woosnam designed golf course nearing completion and some breathtaking scenery. Overall, I'm very happy with my place. Oh and 80p a pint!!

Snow is falling, by marshman on Nov 15, 2007 15:42:12 GMT 1, I'm off to St Anton in March! Should be going long haul to Ferne but can't get two weeks off Thinking of going to Fernie in Jan for 10/14 days...any avice/comments? Went to Chamonix this year and the snow was pants so thinking long haul to North America this year so any advice would be helpfull!
I was in Fernie in March this year for 10days. Loved it but we went to see a mate who was doing a season so that always helps. Its a small redneck mining town that has taken advantage of wicked snow dumps.
There are only 10 lifts they are not super fast like the ones in Europe but the slopes make up for it. Do yourself a favour and get to know some of the workers as they all congregate in certain bars on certain nights.
Oh and if the ghostriders are playing (hockey team) then you just have to go and see them. Lots of fighting on the ice, loads to drink and lots of noise to be made.
Talking of snow, is anyone hear off to Ischgl in Austria for the opening weekend on 1st Dec?
If you like to party it is seriously a mental place with the craziest apres ski I have ever ever seen. I will be there for sure after great memories of opening and closing parties.

Snow is falling, by marshman on Nov 15, 2007 16:22:34 GMT 1, So if the snow is not good in Ischgl there is plenty to watch.........
The week after the opening weekend it is Playboy week then the week after that Penthouse week. I never manage to stay that long as 4 days always kills my liver.
p.s its a very Germanic resort and not everyone speaks English and there are not many English there which is one of the reasons I love.
