Thanks, it is the start of my 'get everyone to ski Canada' drive. They should pay me.

He was nearly in tears when a draw was on the cards with the best team outside of the top 4. My first ever football top was an Arsenal strip :lol:

well we did beat them 3 - 0 the last time we played them :cry:.
Mr-a's first strip was a Liverpool one but I got hold of him at an early enough age to make him see the light :twisted:

Canada is definitely on my list, summer and winter.

:D

Yep, Canada is somewhere I am planning to visit soon. Definitely there rather than America.

Flights: BA were good, unusually hot cabin crew on the way back.

I don't understand was the heating turned up too high? Great pictures Pablo - what are the temperatures like out there if I ever decide to leave the safety of my St Martin cocoon and visit?

The warmest we had was -5 and the coldest -20 (in the town, don't think it got that bad on the ski hill). Like anywhere else you get cold days (as low as -40 has been known) and warm days although it is rarely above zero November-->February/March. Go in March-->April if you want warmer temperatures.

No pictures of the then?

Pablo,
I liked the photo of the snow cannon the best :D

It looks like it's a great place to ski - but rather too difficult for me to get there by train :lol:

They aren't suitable for a family ski website.

You don't need to get the train. You can fly from Manchester (and others, inc. London airports) and the transfer bus at the other end is just an hour and a half on the trans Canada highway which is almost totally straight.
