Watch Alpine Skiing World Cup: Bansko, Bulgaria Live Stream Online Live
World
Cup FIS skiing in Bansko 2012. Sounds great, and last season the World
Cup Men’s event I reported on and enjoyed hugely. But how many people
ski visitors realise that for three weekends there are three major ski
events all in a row. All in the February holiday season.
The Ski Event Timetable
Second is The World Cup Mens Slalom and Giant Slalom on the 18th and 19th February 2012.
Saturday, February 18 - Men's giant slalom
Sunday, February 19 - Men's slalom
Thirdly we have the Womens World Cup Downhill and Giant Slalom on the 25th and 26th February 2012.
Don't Miss The Excitation........ Watch Live & Enjoy......
I
would expect the Tomba piste to be shut for event preparation from
around the 20th January and not to be reopened until the 1st March. But
I’ll be announcing this as soon as I have reliable info on this.
Bansko
is one of just one of five resorts to be selected to host two events
this season. The other four are Val D’Isere (France), Lake Louise
(Canada), Garmisch Partenkirschen (Germany) and Sochi (Russia and site
of next winter Olympics). With around 200 million people watching each
event, this extra exposure of Bansko as a resort of international
standing is what Tseko Minev (head of Bulgarian Ski Federation, part
shareholder of Bansko’s lift operating company, Yulen and First
Investment Bank) calls a “great success for Bulgaria.” Bulgaria’s
reputation, and Bansko in particular, has been tarnished in the past by
some hopeless organisation, such as poor lift queue
management as well as the inability to plan for a back up, such as we
witnessed as high winds brought to an end day two of the recent Elevation
Music Festival. However, successful major sporting events such as the
World Cup Skiing in Bansko helps redress the balance. Bansko has proven
itself and for this reason has been chosen once again. Credit is due
to all those who made it happen so well at past Women and Mens World
Cup events.
