Season Opening Expected on 13 December!

Winter is almost here, and the excitement in Bansko is building as we prepare for the start of another unforgettable ski season - our 17th season on the slopes of Bansko. The official opening date for the Bansko ski area is planned for 13 December, and if snow conditions allow, we are ready to open even earlier. All eyes are on the mountain, and we’ll keep everyone updated with real-time news in case winter arrives sooner than expected.

For those eager to secure their place before the rush, we are offering an early-booking discount of up to 15% on ski and snowboard equipment rental. Planning ahead not only guarantees the best prices, but also ensures smooth organisation for your trip. To make your experience even easier, we have two rental shops located just two minutes’ walk from the gondola, meaning you can collect your equipment and head straight to the slopes without stress or long queues.

This season, we are incredibly proud to introduce our multicultural and professional instructor team. Alongside our experienced Bulgarian instructors, we will have instructors from Slovakia, North Macedonia, Greece, France and Russia, forming a truly international environment for our guests. We believe learning is easier and more enjoyable when you feel comfortable — and with our diverse team, we are ready to teach in several languages and meet every skier’s needs with passion and care. In addition, three

of our instructors hold the highest ski instructor certification, offering world-class coaching for beginners, intermediates, and advanced skiers. Our lovely owners, also highly qualified professionals, continue to lead with dedication, love for the sport, and a personal approach that makes Sankiyski feel like family.

At Sankiyski Ski School, skiing is more than just a sport — it’s a shared experience, a community, and a chance to create memories that last a lifetime. That is why our motto is:

“The right place for the right people!”

Whether you are stepping onto skis for the very first time, improving your technical skills, or aiming to push your level to new heights, we are here to help you learn safely, confidently, and with lots of fun. We offer lessons for adults and children, group and private sessions, high-quality rental equipment, and personal guidance every step of the way.

We cannot wait to welcome you back. Book now, secure your discount, and follow us on social media for updates on snow conditions and any changes to the opening date.

See you on the slopes!

With love,

Bobi & the Sankiyski Ski School Team
