I know this isn't perhaps he right place to post this, but having trawled the web, I can't find a similar site to this discussing Jasper, Canada. I'd like to get some "from the horse mouth" before we fly. Any ideas?
We do go back out to Bansko Feb 24th, so I'm not just some marauding interloper.

Beginners will love the fact that most of Jasper is actually available to them. Blues wind their way down the whole mountain and standing at the top is like standing on top of the world. There are also some low long t-bars right at the bottom of ...

Beginners will love the fact that most of Jasper is actually available to them. Blues wind their way down the whole mountain and standing at the top is like standing on top of the world. There are also some low long t-bars right at the bottom of the mountain and the Marmot Basin ski school is excellent. Intermediate terrain is where Jasper really shines- there is much here to cruise and enjoy. The pistes are also as a rule very uncrowded- so fast intermediates will love it. Experts will find some great bump runs and through-the-trees deep powder skiing to keep them amused. Heli-skiing is also available for the really adventurous. Snowboarders will find lots of powder to frolic in and also a board park. Backcountry trips are available with a guide and there are 300km of some of the most beautiful cross country ski trails in Canada.
Check back Sunday night, will get on the phone over the weekend and get some restaurant & bar names.
Where are you staying? if its Whistler Inn your sorted, its Lush.
You lucky,lucky people.
We're slumming it at the "Astoria", mainly for the location as the missus doesn't partake of the snow.
I'm a pretty good boarder (sorry about the lack of humility) and have done Whistler several times and Kicking Horse.
It's mainly personal recommendations about bars/restaurants etc that I'm looking for, as it can often take a week to sniff out the best places and I'd like to hit the ground running. The "De'd Dog Bar" in the Astoria itself figures well in the info I've managed to dig ...

Any other info would be much appreciated, and I'll try the site mentioned.
