Skiing in Bansko is particularly well-suited to beginners and intermediates. The slopes of Todorin Vruh are the best training venue for novices, with gentle slopes and long runs from the chair lift. The slopes also give access to some good off-piste skiing and snowboarding. Intermediates can take the triple chair lift to the top of the peak and try one of the downhill runs. Expert skiers can go to the nearby resort of Shiligarnika for more challenging slopes. There are skiing and snowboarding classes available for adults and children.Snow conditions in Bansko are good and there are seldom queues even in the height of the season. In recent years a lot of money has gone into improving and replacing ski lifts at Bansko, vastly improving the amenities. Bansko has the best snow record and the longest ski season (December to May) of all Bulgarian ski resorts.
