Keep in mind that in April the chances are that Norquay may not be open. I like it but unless you like steep runs it isn't really for you... even the blues are pretty steep.

How come i can see the pictures twice but you lot can't see them!!!??? This is doing my nut in!

Plus I should actually be doing work rather than posting pictures :lol:

The first time I 'fixed' one of yours it worked and then it didn't :lol:

Conclusion 'Snapfish' is rubbish!

No :lol:, it worked for a while then it stopped?! You can link the pictures directly from FB you know... right click on the image and select 'copy image url' or 'copy image location' and it will give you a link that looks like this --

Your images weren't working for me... I can't be bothered doing all the code but if you quote my post you will be able to see how to do the rest of them.

(to use the image tags the URLs need to end in '.img' or '.png' or just .something.

Edit: it worked 10 minutes go! You should use Flickr instead, so much easier. Or even link them straight from facebook.

If you see someone in a festive-looking jumper passed out in the corner it will definitely be me.

The camera is one of these...

Definitely on my shopping list for summer.

As a thank you for my help you can leave your card behind the bar for me in the Brunswick :lol:

Most places are, you are better short listing hotels then deciding where you want to be in terms of the town and use the ski bus stop as the deciding factor. I have stayed at the Inns of Banff, the Caribou and the Banff International. As far as location is concerned the Banff International is the closest to town, however, the Caribou is earlier on the bus stop line. I would probably go back to the Caribou. There are loads of other hotels in town though and Trip Advisor has a decent amount of reviews. By all accounts, the Fox Suites is your best bet (as it is new), the others are comfortable but getting a little dated.

Check my Trip Report for restaurant recommendations and other info. You won't be able to eat in Wild Bills or drink in the Pump and Tap with your son but neither are really a great loss although the Pump and Tap does show UK sport.
