After deciding Europe so early in the season was risky we find it is deep in snow this year! to prevent us losing all our money for the Canadian flights accomodation etc we are hoping to get the package put back to March 09. however, we are all desperate to ski.
Part of me wants to go to Silver Star next week as planned in the hope it will snow, but the weather forcast says just a few cm over the next 9 days. would you risk it? has anyone experienced this problem in canada before? how reliable are the snow forecasts, we have even looked at the Farmers almanac for the area and it also is not promising snow!

To be fair though, it's a gamble on there being a decent base by the time you get out there. You could always ask your operator if they have alternative arrangements, maybe they can switch you to Banff, which is looking in better shape. I think you were especially lucky with the early heavy snowfall at silver star last year.
Got my fingers crossed for you!
