Very true dg, trouble is you are heading towards glacier territory and i dont know about you but i prefer to have a few trees to avoid and some nice scenery, did verbier in march this year, it was stunning, great snow loads of backcountry (off piste to us brits) and the best apres anywhere and i speak from reasonable experience on that one
looking forward to experiencing the canadian way of doing things do you guys have any traditional drinks on the hill like say gluvein in austria, that sort of thing? Also whats the apres like there, some places you go to just dont seem to do the come down from the hill go to a bar drink loads and listen to a really good band thing. I guess the fact that you have a large aussie contingent probably answers my question on that one eh

Very true Dirk, anyway what he lacks in experience he more than makes up for in enthusiasm just thought it might be a bit of a problem when he first starts and has to try to keep up with a group, learn fast is the answer eh.

Cheers Elsie,
always good to get some info from you locals, had some conflicting views when you hunt on the web for reviews on fernie, some rave about the powder and some say the weather and conditions were not fantastic sounds like very variable conditions stay more than a week and you wiil find that out. Come prepared we think

Thanks Chris that list would be great can you send to homer_jay_sampson at yahoo.co.uk cheers. I think the travel light and take large suitcase for the return sounds like a plan. Will def be buying some new planks and a lid.

Dirk do you know if there were any beginners on that course last year as I am coming along with a mate of mine who has only had two weeks on skis?

I think the 1500 they reckon for money is way too conservative will take Dirks advice on that one and go for 2500.

Some of the stuff they have organised for us sounds really cool, looking forward to the backcountry stuff, tried it for the first time with proper lessons in Verbier this year, totally hooked. Also the volunteer thing for freestyle event sounds great, party at the end thrown in in for good measure, Have started to get 12 hours a night kip so I will have plenty in credit for the three months
