Hi Snow Plough,yes, still around. Off to Banff 19/1 for 2 weeks.
Going to have a look at Lapland next year so Bulgaria will have to wait another year.
Last Jan poped over to Borovets for the day to see Christo,had FUN. Went to Bansko this time and must say I do prefer it to Borovets.
Have fun and a great 2011.
Paul, Debbie & Gemma

Hi Paul.you 19/1 & me 19/2 we will bump one day. Have a great time Sunshine slopes are just amazing, I had a bad fall out in Lake Louise slopes last season literally at a stop and fell backwards seeing blue and white stars for 3 days.
My daughter Lucy and husband Ben have been to Lapland x 3, veeery coold & verrrry expensive but they loved the skiing and apre etc.
S.P.

Just read http://www.banffcragandcanyon.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2796486Don't know if it has happened but if it has, will depend on what hotel you are staying at could have an impact on your holiday we normally stay at carribou lodge when we go so a bit of a trek to town with gear if it has happened, think we will have to think about here if it is in place

Footfixer, have been to lapland (Yllas), couple of years ago a few pointers to help you;
It can be extremely cold -40 is not unusual!!, however it is a dry cold and if well wrapped up not so much of a problem as you may think.
Early season has very short daylight hours, late season much better and milder.
Mainly draglifts, though a couple of chairs and gondolas appering in the country.
Alcohol is prohibitively taxed and very expensive.
But the main plus points: the scenery is ...

But the main plus points: the scenery is fantastic, the people friendly, and the resorts do not seem to be overcrowded, you may see the Northern Lights and there are plenty of outings available skidoo trips are fantastic as you can travel a fair distance into the artic wilderness. Husky trips are also very good.
Its certainly a great place for families but the skiing is not challenging and is more suited to a relaxed time with very limited vertical, generally speaking.
Hope this is some help.
