Hi all, came back from banff on 8th march had a fantastic ski holiday,first time over the pond, We went for 10 nights, it had snowed for 3 days before we got there and conditions were excellent bit on the cold side -28 first day but sunny so felt warmer, the locals were so friendly and food was excellent everywhere we ate, Before we went i dident know how i felt about traveling 30-45 mins to get to ski area every day but it was ok cumfy coaches friendly staff everywhere it was fantastic, overall we had a brill time and will be going back again, We already have bardonecchia in italy booked 10th jan next year but looking at canada for feb - mar hopefully :lol:

Yeh, it is a pretty special place!
I don't know anyone in there but the food is good, seriously good. Maybe a little more expensive than Saltlik :lol:
My parents were over visiting me last year and we headed there and it was around $300 for the 3 of us with drinks but I still can't get over how good it was.
No, a couple of buddies did and it was an expensive night for them.. Kicking Horse and Revelstoke are the other two I visited and I am in quite a hurry to get back to the Horse! Feed the piggy bank!!
Glad to hear you had a fab time Clare, did your oh make it after all or is he gagging for another snow fix still? :wink:

What hotel did you stay in? Did you go to the Buffalo Lodge for a meal?

Woodski, I came back on Thursday having had 2 weeks there and loved it also - been raving about it since we got back and would love to go again!
Pablo, Didn't make it to the Buffalo Lodge? Do you know someone in there? We did get to some great restaurants, my fave being Saltlik on Bear Street!
We stayed at Irwins Mountain Inn, it did exactly what it said on the tin - it was nothing special but had no faults either, it was clean and spacious and the staff we're very friendly and helpful and I would recommend!

Wow, not to bad as a treat but you couldn't do that every night!
Did you go into the Grizzly Steak House? I nearly got myself into trouble with the telephones at the tables!!!
Have you done any other resorts in Canada? I really fancy Fernie or over the border to Breckenridge (only if I feed up my piggy bank lots over the coming months). Unfortunately group consensus is that we have a cheaper do next year in Europe :cry:

I chickened out of Kicking Horse...heard it was all Double Black Diamonds!!
I'm mad enough to give some steep stuff a go if I'm feeling brave but the thought of bumps or trees or being left ungroomed... no sireee!
Revelstoke?? Not heard of that one, will google it now... :D
