Oh, and on the Scotland/Canada question - You are right, how unpatriotic of me to forego 10 days of wind,rain,sleet,ice,rocks,heather,breaking down tows, misleading snow reports, for 10 days in a place like Fernie!!! :shock:

Oh, and Fernie is probably cheaper!!!

I may be Scottish, but you will never hear me championing Scottish resorts, or the Scottish Parliament, or the SNP, or the Brown/Darling dictatorship........... :twisted:

Rant over for now :D

Thanks Smudger, thats the kind of info I was after. I think the apres ski thing is pretty general in North American resorts. They seem to organise their entertainment for the seasonal workers rather than the tourists. I mean starting at 11pm when every self respecting skier should be pushing out zzzzzz's in anticipation of making first tracks(I must be getting old!!)

I've booked now anyway so looking forward to those bowls. I was in Panorama last year and they did the mountain friend thing. Its a great service and not only shows you the mountain, but is a good way of meeting people.

Yep, always carry both. And youth sizes are good for smaller heads. ( and cheaper!!!!!)

Hi everybody. Considering trip to Fernie in coming months. Can anybody give me any first hand info re runs, resort etc.
Thanks

Not a lot can go wrong Tony. I always make sure they are strapped together to avoid the edges slipping and gouging the bases.
It may be worthwhile taking a stone to the edges at the tips before use. This is to make sure the edges are detuned at the tips. I'm sure anyone who has tried to ski with over tuned tips will agree!!!!! :shock:
Its great to have a nice shiny new pair of skis, but just remember that they WILL get scratched through general use.

Just Enjoy 'em!!! :D

That wasnt my intention Bea. Its a Marx Brothers thing!!!! :D

Oh come on, you must have seen a 'sanity clause'!!!!

Dont think I've seen any policy's with a 'whatever reason I fancy' cancellation clause.

Anyone know of a 'sanity clause'?
