Bansko guided freeride ski and snowboard tour

Join me for one or several days of freeride skiing and snowboarding in Bansko, the best spot in Bulgaria to enjoy real powder snow.

Bansko is a city and a winter sports center located at the base of Mount Pirin in Bulgaria. It’s located at 925 meters asl. You’ll find in Bansko a lot of untouched powder ski runs because this place is not yet well-known among the freeride and snowboarding community.

Apart from the quality of the snow, you’ll find amazing landscapes and also a large diversity of terrain. There are different options for off-piste: tree skiing and some wide open slopes, as well as some large slopes accessible after a hike.

The exact terrain we choose will depend on your level: we will start with some easier lines and then we’ll decide which slopes to take according to the weather, snow and your abilities/preferences.

I have started snowboarding here in the 90′ and since 2004 I’ve guiding my friends and clients to all the secret powder spots around Bansko.

We can plan together one or several days of freeride skiing and snowboarding outside the pistes, using the lifts and going down where very few people go.

We can even mix freeride with some ski touring / splitboarding in the Pirin and Rila mountain ranges, for one or several days.

I will take max 5 people with me. I like guiding small groups because it’s safer but also because we can do more in one day. If you are a larger group, I will ask a colleague of mine to join us.

Skiing and snowboarding off piste in Bansko is suitable for all levels, for beginners as well as experienced riders.

The season goes from January till May. For several years, March has been the best month for powder snow here.

If you plan to come in Bulgaria next winter and if you want to have an amazing off the beaten tracks ski experience, get in touch with me. I’ll be happy to guide you in Bansko and let you enjoy a great time in the Pirin mountains.
