Will a biathlon competition affect my ski vacation?
I've bought flight tickets to a ski vacation in Bansko, Bulgaria. Only later I've found out that on the same week the European biathlon championship will take place in exactly the same resort.
Will this affect my snowboarding in any way? How can I know if slopes will be closed, or if the place will be overcrowded? Do these events attract a large audience? Should I switch to another resort, say Borovets?
Best Answer
Biathlon is a combination of cross-country skiing and shooting. As such it doesn't take place on downhill/snowboard slopes. While it is probably worth checking with the resort, I doubt any downhill slopes will be closed. Of course it may mean that the place is much more crowded.
