re: canada conditions

Do i sense a bit of sarcasm Paul ???

re: canada conditions

Recently been to canada and i thought there was plenty, indeed loads up top- but the lower slopes at Whistler were slushy later in the day- the locals said this was poor snow by usual standards for them. Then again it was light rain at lower levels a few days but locals again said this was the norm for Whistler though?
Theres still plenty of snow though!

re: canada conditions

Snow not to Canada usual standards this year apparently, BUT after 6 seasons in Bansko. I didn't care. Good skiing everyday, but more importantly no queues!!! Biggest one was about 10 people long - and that was when ski school started!! No getting up at 6 to join the gondola hell there!!!

re: canada conditions

I would have to agree Julie- thats the one big advantage of a huge resort with the infrasrtucture like canadas resorts have- you do pay for it though, hence us back to budget again next year!- at least next year i can afford a few beers!

re: canada conditions

Heading for Bannf in 9 days, did Panorama BC. last season, kids grown up, no mortgage, wife does not ski. I love my wife.

S.P.

re: canada conditions

Hopefully that will be me in another six or so years Snow plough! (except my wife is ex! lol)

re: canada conditions

Whistler has 2 meters, Blackcomb whistler has no bad snow, it's got glaciers, Cypress mountain has bad snow because it's low down. The reason for this site being chosen is it's very near to Vancouver.

re: canada conditions

Just been watching the olympic mens downhill on BBC2- funny to think i was skiing there just a couple of weeks ago (not as fast as them guys like! lol)- seems to be plenty of snow- though it was held back from Saturday to get the pistes right.
