I was thinking of getting my self a fancy new camera phone so i can record all that powder and fun for the guys back home. So i’m going to get just the hand set and put my old SIM card in that. that way it shouldn’t be locked.

i’m going out on the 11th (yes that’s right less than a month to go). I’m taking a huge ski bag for 2 pairs of skis and clothing to pad out the bag because the handling staff at airports are not very gentil with bags. and another bigish bag for boots and other clothing.
I would like to know whether people are taking mobiles. I have asked some of the locals and you can get a canadian SIM card and put that in your phone for local calls as long as you have got tri-band.

Thanks for that very helpful info, i will look into it.
Does Fernie have any shops that would sell Rogers SIM cards or would i have to get one in Calgary when i arive?

hi there this is question for all you locals:
(it is about cell phones which over here in england we call mobiles so where i write mobile just fill in cell phone)
I am told that one can put any SIM card into and phone what ever the nationality, so i was planning on getting my self a canadian SIM card when i come over. my question is, what kind of network system do you have and which is the best/cheapest network?
Over here we have have about 6 main networks that are similar in cost and service.

Andy in reply to you question about skiing ability: i don’t know exactly but the nonstopski people do say in the broshure (i’m dyslexic can’t spell) people should be intermediate to advanced. i’m sure it will not be a problem though as when you are a beginner you learn things quite quickly until you reach the intermediate plato.

I think every body is thinking fernie 24/7, i am in the same position as andy, i have never done a season. one of my friends did a similar course out in Banff last year so i have been picking his brains to find out what i need. the main things i have picked up are that you just take all you normal skiing/boarding gear, extra warm clothing (he had days below -40C) but one thing that does not add up is that he recons that he spent about £2500 and he does not even drink!!
I have already got most of my kit, i think i will just be buying thermal clothing out in fernie.
