Bansko Officially Opened the 2009/2010 Season
The 2009/2010 winter season in Bansko was opened officially on December 12th with a parallel slalom and demonstration slaloms of Olympic and world champions in the Banderishka Polyana area. Ski legends Marc Ghirardelli, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Petar Popangelov, Bojan Krizaj, Paul Accola, Patrick Ortlieb, Peter Muller and Hubert Strolz were the stars of the day.
The famous skiers supported the initiative that was launched last year – Learn to Ski – of the Bulgarian Ski Federation by taking part in a charity race – a parallel slalom. The race took place on the Alberto Tomba slope at Banderishka Polyana and was won by the five-time World Cup winner Marc Ghirardelli.
The official opening of the 2009/2010 ski season continued with a concert, a show program and fireworks.
