Thanks John Foddy

Following the logic of the post immediately above yours, I just went and checked. It is listed there already

Hmm, Mr Admin..

How about a J2SKI holiday company. )

I put my snow tyres on at the beginning of November this year because I was caught out last year. They've now melted and stuck to the tarmac. ;-)

:shock: Oh crud, mine are going on this Friday. I hope I don't knock back the downfalls even further :cry:

Banff is not for me; I couldn't be doing with all that travelling to the lifts everyday.

It's 30 minutes to an hour each way isn't it?

I had reservations about the travel too, but once I was there, it did not prove to be an issue at all. It gives you a chance to let your breakfast digest on the way there, and is a nice comfortable relaxing trip back, allowing you to warm up on the bus and take a gentle nap prior to arriving back and getting ready for the evening. There is no standing on the buses, and the seats are comfortable, with plenty of leg room. You also get to see some stunning views of the Rockies, and if lucky the local wildlife.

Don't let the thought of a trip to the slopes put you off visiting Banff, it is well worth it.

One of the things to do in Banff would be to go up Sulphur Mountain and take in all the spectacular views. Then on the way down, stop off at the hot springs and take a dip.

Depending on how long you are in Banff, you could try to get a guided kayak tour on the river Bow, that would be stunning.

Calgary is only a two hour drive from Banff, and you may still get a Rodeo happening in September, plus you could check out the winter park they built for the Calgary Winter Olympics.

If you are golfers, then there is the golf course attached to the Fairmont hotel in Banff. Plenty of famous people have been round there.

Sadly, I have only been to Banff in the proper season, so spent most of my time skiing :). Not been elsewhere in Canada yet either, but it is high on my list.

Just found these.. :shock:

Also, you could wear a wetsuit and goggles etc and be a diver. Wetsuit should keep you warm.

How about this for the g/f?

And I'm loving the rodeo one..

This may be a "tradition" I have to try this year :twisted:

Edit. Hmm, mind you, the cowboy one is going to be a darn site easier on the chairlifts :shock:
