Ski Season

And we are off! This is setting up to be one of the better seasons in a number of years. So far this November we have had some very nice mild temperatures, consistent precipitation and a bit of wind. Skiing in the Banff - Canmore region always gets an early start, it is a matter of keeping up the stoke through to the end of May. Sunshine and Lake Louise are reporting great conditions. The boys on trail crew have been working hard and taking advantage of the weather to capture and maintain this early season snow. A number of resorts in BC are looking as though they will open a few weeks early with great snow.

For those of you coming from out of town there are some very good deals available for this season. The global recession and competition are taking a bite out of our tourism numbers and the operators are responding. Hotels and restaurants in both Canmore and Banff are offering some fantastic deals on lodging and food right now. If you are looking for a great deal and a good time come on up to the mountains and slay some of the early season gnar.

Just remember your early season sticks. They don't call them the Rocky Mountains for nothing.
