TERRORIST ruin my ski trip

A friend and I decided to go down to Bulgaria’s largest ski resort in Bansko on Friday for a short two day ski trip. We arrived at the lifts early Friday morning to only find out the slopes were closed due to a “Bomb on the Mountain.” Information was slow to come in, but we eventually found out that some political ecological group sent a letter to the media and to the ski lifts that they had planted a bomb on the sloped in retaliation to all of the new development in Bansko, as it was destroying nature. (so apparently it is okay to destroy “men” just not the “nature”)

We spent Friday hanging out and visiting some Bulgarian friends, in hopes to ski on Saturday. We arose early to hit the slopes only to find another closed day due to the bomb threat. They decided to plant their own charges to release some of the snow – hoping to detonate any potential bomb and remove the threat of an avalanche.

So it’s not the type of Terrorism you hear on the nightly news – but still terrorism none the less. It looks as if it turned out as everyone expected – that this political group was only looking for media attention – as no bomb was ever found.

We returned to Sofia very disappointed – as Bansko had beautiful weather, but no skiing this weekend. Maybe God was protecting me from myself – who knows. But we do hope to get out again some time soon.
