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!

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!

We are very happy with our choice of ski school Snow Peaks and mostly with our ski instructor Dido who was in duty for our 4 years old daughter. He was always on time and was staying with us until the last minute of the lesson (even little more if needed), although my daughter was tired some times. My daughter got a great progress and for only 6 days she was skiing alone along the whole piste doing many turns. I am very satisfied with his attitude towards my daughter, the way he was talking to her and the way he was encouraging her. The most important thing for me is the fact that she still wants to go ski again.
