You will be fined in Bansko if you ride outside the ski runs. This is the last stupidity the resort authorities have come up with. The reason behind this decision is avalanche prevention...

If you are a snowboarder and love free riding Bansko is not the place you are looking for. Try Borovets, Pamporovo, Chepelare or Rila lakes and cancel quickly your stay in Bansko because nothing but disappointment awaits you.
