Its where my Hubby wants to go, he wants a change from Austria. But I am terrified of flying so try to opt for Europe, shorter flights and transfers. But am gradually building up my flying hours, so maybe next year.
I'm a laydee

Brucie, CSIA course, eh? Were you just thinking of doing level 1? It must be the cheapest way to get at some of the best instructors at Canada. The periods of time where my skiing improved the most was on course plus with the teaching element you can help yourself :D

I'm a level 2 International and have done the Level 3 but not taken the exams yet.
You are right, Its the best for ski improvement money can buy, and a qualification too.
I was actually thinking of doing a CSCF 1 just for fun.
One of my trainers was Casey Bouis who is technical Director at Sunshine, so will be hooking up with him and seeing whats on at the time I'm there.
I presume you have CSIA quals Ross?

Yeh,CSIA2 CSCF1. Unless you are really interested in coaching kids your time would be better spent elsewhere than CSICF, I feel. There isn't much of an emphasis on skiing, or teaching just trying to make the kids have fun-I guess if you are in to it then it is a good thing to do. Plus you don't get the full qualification without shadowing time...

p.s Banff is the place to go :wink:



RossF we were looking at anywhere near the base of Whistler or Blackcomb.
Had a look on the net this morning and The Westin Resort &Spa was £ 5000 for ten nights.The problem with having kids is that you pay adult prices as they dont have child discounts.

I`ll PM you later with some details of what we would like from a holiday over there.

Comparing directly next year's prices to this year it looks like flight & BB accom is £55 per person more. This is for 2nd week of Jan in Westendorf. Lift, tuition and kit prices have hardly changed.

I don't like to rub it in for those of you based in the UK but make sure to check the small print. With the deterioration in Sterling, it would seem logical that the 2010 Sterling prices for Europe should be 20-30% higher than 2009 (including, in particular, lift passes, ski-hire, etc).

I suspect that the early brochures are based on an out-of-date or positively optimistic exchange rate and that the small print allows them to charge a potentially nasty currency surcharge :x.
