SWS GAMING it's hard to say because some people pick it up quicker than others. There are some nice easy runs at Bamako which are good for practicing. I'd say have at least 3 half days of lessons. Then spend the other half of those days practicing what you've been taught. Once you've got the hang of the basics don't be afraid to push yourself. Go a little higher up the mountain. You'll fall over a lot when you first start out but don't let that get you down. Just get back up and keep trying. At the end of my first week of skiing I could do green and blues with confidence. I could do reds but it's was scary. And I did one black because my friends made me. It's was so much fun so I'm glad my friends pushed me. Hope this helps. Have fun.
@@jakerideout thanks for the reply! Im skiing for the last 2 days and on my third day, I went up higher up in the mountain anf skied for 7kms. I felt pretty badly once and It was kinda scary when I got so fast. But Im glad I got the hang of it. Planning on visiting the tracks in Macedonia next year.
yeah end of Jan, the first gondola you take up the mountain is really busy! Our accommodation drove us up the mountain so we didn't have to get the gondola, if you don't get to the gondola early you could wait up to an hour to get on. After the morning rush its pretty quiet, we did mostly reds which are less busy than the blues. To get off the mountain you can get the gondola down or there is one blue piste which takes you all the way to the ski village and that can get busy but its a slow blue that take about 20mins to complete. hope this helps, have fun.
@@jakerideout Thanks for the detailed reply, really appreciate it! Booking us this weekend for a trip mid-Jan so hopefully we will get lucky and miss some of the Feb rush. I will remember to ask about being driven up the mountain!
We arrived on January 20 , and the day we arrived we went to ticket office about 12 o'clock and we started to ski about 2 pm so I think you can imagine how long will you wait if you are late
Make sure you go out for dinner at least once in the old town. It's only like a 10 minute walk from the main town. The food and beers are really cheap and you get to see what Bulgarian is really like, away from the touristy places. Have fun.
beautiful ... looks like sugar on the ground. this sugar is very cold.... freeeeeze.... this kill us brazilians.
ziti se

What week did you go, around the end of Jan? Was it generally as quiet as it looks in the video?

Thanks Poppy! Sounds like we'll be getting up early every day 😂
