Ski and Snowboard School SankiySki is a privately owned school created in Bansko by Bobi & Lubomir. After successfully managing the largest Ski School in Pamporovo for over 10 years, we always had a dream of one day operating our own Ski School and Hire business. Finally in 2009, we started to make our dream a reality and opened SankiySki School and Ski Hire in Bansko/Shop 1 - Pirin street 115, opposite main entrance of Kempinski Hotel/ . We are a family run business and have been offering a professional and personal service. While you are in Bansko we can provide you with all the equipment you could need and professional Ski lessons service. For 2018/19 SEASON we open our BRAND NEW SKI SHOP/shop 2 - Pirin street 121/! For our regular customers, it is 1 minute further up Pirin Street next to Victoria Restaurant. Our shops are in a perfect location, opposite the Kempinski hotel and just a short walk from the Gondola station and 2mins from the snow.

I can't recommend Sankiyski School highly enough! My husband and I visited with another couple from the 18th to the 25th Jan (a quieter week for Bansko). We were all mixed abilities but I had never been skiing before and decided to book 3 mornings of 2 hour private tuition. All email communication prior to the trip was very quick and efficient with clear instructions re pricing, where the shop was and when to come to be fitted for kit in advance. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble whether it be helping me take my boots off after a fun but tiring day or offering a coffee whilst I waited for friends to finish. I had Janet as my instructor and she was fantastic - so much so I ended up booking lessons for the Thursday and Friday too after my first session with her! Really supportive with her guidance and let me pick things up at my own pace with no pressure and in a fun environment. By the end of the week I could tackle the Ski road and another blue run with confidence which was amazing considering on Monday I had never stepped foot in a ski before! My friends also ended up booking last minute snowboard lessons with the school after a bad experience with another provider which was no trouble at all thanks to Bobi. Highly, highly recommend for their professionalism and friendly staff. They genuinely want to help you and ensure you have a fun holiday rather than just churn people in and out to make a profit. Thank you so much Sankiyski School - I've fallen in love with skiing and we will definitely be back!

Been going to bansko for 9 years and used method for the 1st time this year. The booking went smoothly and when we got there everything was ready for us. Excellent service every day and very helpful My girlfriend had a private lesson and this was the best she every had. She developed massively both in skill and confidence. Only minor downside was the opening time was 8am. Luckily the gondola queue was never too big but open 15min early would mean getting to the gondola for opening Highly recommended snow school will be booking with method again next season Thanks method see you next year

I went on a ski vacation with our three girls. I chose instructors from TOTEM Ski Center. I recommend this school with confidence and pleasure. They are professional people, attentive to details and correct. Throughout the period I had 1/1 personal instructors. We left satisfied and eager to return to BANSKO. The Manea family thanks you!

Qualified physiotherapist and yoga instructor. SPA therapist. With more than 10 years experience in hospitals, SPA centers and sport clubs.
Reviewed By Jean00sc
This summer I was very fortunate to have a number of physiotherapy sessions with Elena to address joint stiffness and posture. The sessions were thorough and helped me get to the root causes as well as learn what daily ongoing routine will support me. I really appreciate Elena’s expertise, her soothing vibes, as well as the great teaching in her aerial yoga classes, which showed me how powerful this approach is for stretching and toning. It’s a fun workout. By my second class I was able to hang upside down, which provides amazing relief to the neck muscles. I highly recommend Elena!

My dealings with Cool Ski School proved to be easy & efficient. I received prompt replies to my email enquiries. Most importantly the tuition that we received from Danny was superb. Very well tailored to our needs and always with a smile. Despite her doubts, her spoken English was faultless. I had full confidence in her taking my 8 year old down his first black run. He is still on an incredible high!

As a first time skier I was unsure what to expect. But our hosts at #snomads suggested we book lessons with Ski Mania. We had three, two hour group lessons over our week. Our instructor Dimitri was like a “Jedi” master. He was able to plant the skills and knowledge in my brain! But on a serious note he was quietly spoken and very attentive. He was extremely observant and had a great way of explaining the correct way to ski and correcting any errors. At the end of the three lessons, I am now able to parallel ski and was given the skills and confidence to throughly enjoy my week. Would highly recommend Ski Mania. Thank you Dimitri ⛷????
