How are you?
I would cancel, but my family have a home in the French Alps near Grenoble, so lodging is free!
Banff is next on the places to visit.

chopper, have you been to Fernie? (Someone else mentioned last week, can't remember if it was you...) I tried to go there a couple of years ago but had to cancel.

For anyone who has not been to get to Sunshine village (hotels, shops etc) you have to get a cable car, there is nothing at base level. It is a pretty cool place but fairly quiet.

yeah, and don't try and snowboard out of Sunshine at the end of the day, stop at the gondola. There is X miles of flaaaat runout....
I don't think anyone really tries to do Norquay for more than a day? I can't even be bothered to attend the night-skiing there now.
