Our families visited Bansko during the February Half Term, comprising two families with a total of five children aged between 8 and 12, all of whom had never skied before. Due to the unprecedented demand that week, the group lessons we had planned through our tour operator fell through. A couple of days into our trip, I reached out to Twins Ski School after some research, and it turned out to be the best decision we made.
Radoslav responded promptly via WhatsApp, expressing his willingness to accommodate us despite the short notice. Within the time it took for us to have lunch, he arranged a 2-hour tuition session for the following afternoon. He sent detailed instructions and photos of the meeting point, ensuring we knew exactly where to go and introduced us to Martin, the instructor who would be working with our children.
Martin was punctual and immediately connected with the kids, taking them to one of the practice slopes. After two hours, we returned to find them confidently sliding down, making controlled turns, and, most importantly, smiling. Impressed by their progress, we booked another session for the following day. This time, Martin introduced them to the drag lift ski slope, and they descended with joy and newfound confidence.
Martin assessed their readiness for the Ski Road down into town and advised us to attempt it in the morning when it was less crowded. Following his advice, we embarked on the Ski Road the next morning, and the children were thrilled with their accomplishment. They enjoyed it so much that we repeated the run, stopping for lunch halfway down before completing the descent. This experience transformed our holiday, allowing us to enjoy the rest of the week with the children eager and excited to ski.
A heartfelt thank you to Radoslav for organizing these sessions at such short notice and to Martin for his exceptional instruction and patience. Their efforts made our holiday memorable, and we cannot recommend Twins Ski School highly enough. We would use again if we return - hopefully next year!
