Hi,
I'm a Mid Intermediate Skier that has stuck to the piste with just the odd run through a park and pow but would like to do more on the park and powder. Would still be mostly on the piste though 70%piste--30%Park/Powder. To start with.
Have looked at a few twin tips on eBay but wouldn't mind some advise if possible.
One's Ive seen are:
K2 Public Enemy
K2 Apache Stryker/ Crossfire
Rossigol Scratch
Armada El Rey
Salomon 1080
Salomon Foil
Don't want some thing geared too much at Advanced or Park/Powder
I'm 5'11" and 75kg so was thinking of a lenght of between 169-175

Any help would be much appreciated

Went there in end of Jan 2010 and then again in end of April 2011 & Loved it.
April was with the family and it snowed each night so were waking up to fresh snow every day.
Jan was a tad cold.
Loads of great places to eat.
I would say Don't miss the chance to get a table or stool at Eddies Burger Bar But 6 137 Banff Avenue (on Caribou St. between Banff Ave and Bear St.)
Great choice of Caribou, Lamb, Beef, Boar etc and some sweet potato fries to die for, five of us eat there and it was great.
Sunshine Village Just has thee best snow too.
Eat on the mountain isn't bad at all, quality is good and portions large enough to. We eat mostly at the Lodge above the ski school desk.
Lake Louise has a bigger food hall with more of a canteen feel to it, and its larger. Think it was about £8 for a burger and chips and a drink. Soup they dd there was nice to and cheaper.
You'll have a great time there.
People are so friendly too.
Were off to the other side at Whistler this year.


Have Fun
