Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,<br />

Dear Sportsmen,<br />

For me it is a pleasure and a privilege to be part of this impressive<br />

event presenting some of the best athletes in alpine skiing - The<br />

„AUDI” ALPINE SKI WORLD CUP 2010/2011.<br />

The consecutive hosting of prestigious world cup races that<br />

Bulgaria and Bansko received from the International Ski<br />

Federation proves the continuously growing authority of<br />

Bulgarian ski sport and our winter resorts.<br />

To host a World Cup Start in an environment of enormous<br />

competition is the highest possible appreciation for our country<br />

given by the world of ski sport. This is a proof that we are a<br />

deserving partner who is successfully working for the promotion<br />

and development of skiing not only in our country but all over<br />

the world.<br />

During the races we will not only have the pleasure to enjoy<br />

the presentation of high ranked athletes but will also have<br />

opportunities to establish contacts, to exchange experience and<br />

ideas between our experts and their colleagues from abroad.<br />

I believe that this World Cup event will find a marvelous worldwide<br />

response for the excellent conditions of the Banderitsa ski track<br />

as well for the hospitality and the unique spirit of Bansko.<br />

Good luck!<br />

Boyko Borisov<br />

Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria<br />

Honorary Chairman OC<br />

Dear athletes and trainers,<br />

Dear guests and friends of skiing,<br />

Once again the world will turn to Bulgaria as Bansko is welcoming the<br />

Men Alpine Skiing World Cup.<br />

I’m convinced that the magic of the white sport will fascinate all of us<br />

who will live with the challenge of the race and witness the events which<br />

will hold our breath.<br />

That biggest and the most authoritative winter sport forum will give<br />

the unique opportunity to join the efforts of all responsible authorities,<br />

organizations and institutions, of the public and the government, of the<br />

athletes and all who help them give the best.<br />

Accepting to host the two competition of the Men World Cup, Bulgaria<br />

once again makes a step at the world ski track. We will witness two<br />

of the most attractive disciplines of alpine skiing – Slalom and Super<br />

combination, which will be a real challenge in front of us as organizers<br />

and hosts.<br />

I want to express my gratitude to all those did their best and made all<br />

efforts in their work for the popularizations of our sport and our ski<br />

resorts.<br />

I wish success to all athletes and their teams!<br />

Let Bulgaria be the place where your dreams for reaching the top come<br />

true! I wish you successful races and unforgettable moments in Bansko.<br />

Good Luck!<br />

Svilen Neykov<br />

Welcome to Bansko<br />

Once you have visited this fantastic resort, you are certain to want to come back, because Bansko<br />

offers the best and your pleasure here is guaranteed.<br />

Bansko can be astoundingly diverse and cater for all tastes – from modern age buffs to admirers<br />

of the authentic. The town has preserved its ancient cobbled streets and houses, some of which<br />

date back to a hundred years. This is where Bansko’s unique charm stems from. The houses look<br />

like monasteries with their high stonewalls and small shuttered windows. The real Bulgarian spirit<br />

is hidden behind fortified walls and heavy gates in spacious rooms with wood-carved ceilings and<br />

doors, hand-woven carpets and embroidered cushions, in the murals, icons and the fine iconostasis<br />

of the Saint Trinity church.<br />

The unique atmosphere of the town at the foot of the Pirin Mountain is enriched by the characteristic<br />

sonority of Bansko male singing, the local sense of humor, the mature red wine and the delicious dishes<br />

of traditional Bansko cuisine. The strange feel of the air is one of the most impressive experiences in<br />

Bansko – something like smoke or smoldering pine. The magic feeling of something cozy and snug. In<br />

the numerous local taverns with the exotic name „Mehana” you can sit comfortably, smile, feel the<br />

warmth of the open fire and enjoy the soft flavor and the delicious taste of the local sausage called<br />

„Old man”.<br />
