^ That thread descends in to a goggles vs. sunglasses debate but at the end of the day everyone has their personal preferences. Take both and decide for yourself what you like the most.

Ally, how many times have you been skiing? And why do you think you fall over so much?

No I suppose its not that bad unfortunately food and drink on top adds a fair amount

Still, not bad IMO.

Not really, £600 a week each isn't that bad.

The best thing about Banff is Sleemans Honey brown, awesome.

:lol: You can still get a beer at a few different places (at LL for example, at the base there is a couple of bars and at the base of Larch there is a lodge, at Sunshine there are a few places at Village level, 1 at the bottom of Goatseye and one at the base of the Gondola, all serving beer) but it isn't a place for clocking up huge mileage on loads of different runs. The town of Banff on the other hand, has pretty awesome nightlife.

Oh aye, as well as the photos I posted of the back bowls at the Lake, there is front side terrain too: http://www.ski.com/resorts/trailmaps/tmn_lakelouise.jpg
(the Olympic chair does not run, neither does the Eagle and there is a 'new' (second hand from Vail) gondola which runs from the base to the top of the old Eagle chair)

Sunshine Village is good but when you go below Village level there are a couple irritating flats when you are on a snowboard:
