Yeh cat trakcs are the way to go mate! available at most good ski shops! :mrgreen:

Also if you are doing a season you will need 2 of everything, Jacket, Salopettes, Gloves otherwise if one gets wet your f*cked to say the least

Go earlier than november of you will never get a job, ski season in Banff starts at the beginning of november, there is a hiring clinic for sunshine villiage in october, email them for emails (sorry admin delete if inappropriate www.skibanff.com ) Sunshine Villiage has staff accommo but its limited, some hotels in Banff do offer this but there is a huge waiting list and many Canadians have not been ablet o get cheap accomo there. (sorta answers 2 and 3) you would need to arrange own accommo a discount on season pass may be available. The tri pass is Lake Louise, Sunshine and Norquay (Banffs local hill) and there is a season pass available for this. If you have a tri area pass the ski bus is free! Between the 3 banff resorts (centre yourself around Banff) you will have plenty for the season, i am going this year!

Banff is where its at, plenty nightlife, not Whhistler expensive.

Accomo could be the difficult one.

As for equipment its relatively cheap in Banff compared to scotland but youd be better off buying it in Calgary.

Apologies for the lack of sensibility and grammar in this message!

tino_11 would there be a backlash from yoru boarder mates? i have the bormio pants they are ace, and a jacket i couldnt tel you the name of! :mrgreen:

In Canada if you book direct with hotels you avoid single supplements completely!

I went 2nd week in April this year and it was still dumping day-time highs of -3ish in Sunshine-Spring snow at the lake-Norquay closed!

Johntin, if the ski boot fitter does not get you to try on the insole first, then the empty shell, then the boot as a whole i'd be asking questions!
