May I suggest you try ;
Sportvac Voyages ( in order to get most popular sites and prices) BC ski tourism has great site All ski centers have great sites. Finally very best air destination is Calgary the rent car ( which you can share with others) My choices; Panorama Fernie ( for serious powder hounds ) Kicking Horse Selkirk area Big White ( for family great social context ) Hope this helps you. |

I have had several "comments" from women who wish to wear such a unique jacket.
If a women wins this jacket I will contact company and try to get correct size and of course color winner desires. So all you male skiers,,,,,,sharpen your minds, read a lot about skiing, look at all your skiing equipment since you will have some serious competition soon. Mike remember,,one answer per person ,,per question. Dave Mac,,stop all renovations so you will be rested. Bandit,,,,,here is your chance. Pavel |

Have friends that are training there now. Fog, rain and lack of snow.
Do not bother trying. Roads dangerous. |

An other thought.
One of the goals of this "friendly contest" is to make Summer and Fall more 'interesting". Make you think of skiing in a larger context. Just make you think,,,happy thoughts. Setptember. |

I always get a "travel insurance plan" !
The key word is travel,,,,not ski ! In my business all clients I guide have travel insurance and it is a "comprehensive plan" thus skiing is never mentioned. Insurance companies use "descriptive statistics" to establish rates. That is they look up tables of deaths and injuries in various contexts. As I have said several times,,,more people die in spa pools than in skiing. Do you report that you will be in a spa? If you look at skiing statistics ( accidents, deaths ),,males are much more "involved",,yet women pay same rates! Just a thought, |
