I concur, BASS are superb. We used them last year and are booked in again this year. Marian and Steve who run it are extremely helpful.

they don't always hurt in my opinion.
it's got us talking about buying helmets

amanda n's new gloves x

I borrowed a pair of those from my sister when I was first starting out. suffice to say I didn't want to give them back :mrgreen:

nice one :thumbup:

This is tragic, it's made me very sad.

We haven't been to snowmass but I'm homing in on big white now and am going to get it priced up. is it worth a day to silver star?

I may take you up on the route advice, my boys would love it.

Your help has been invaluable, thank you.

ok, I'm rapidly edging towards Big White. Who was it that posted the photos of the snow ghosts last year? Was it bennyboy?

Big White was another consideration high on the list, the only thing that put me off is the apparent lack of sun (the rain in whistler also is a slight concern for me). although I'm not skiing to get a tan, there's nothing quite like skiing under blue skies. is this your experience of it?

I'm going to have another look. Would you go snowmass or big white?

Do you charge commission for your extensive knowledge??? :D
