banff snow trip 2008.
the highlights: rocky mountain snow, 3 outta 4 powder days, domesticated deer, hot springs and hot tubs, big buck hunter, the elk and oarsman , lora's new ski skills, and beer.
the lowlights: -4 degrees kelvin, beard ice, overpriced ski lodge food isn't any better in canada than it is in america, domesticated deer, the weak US dollar, and cheap, faulty rental car ski racks (yard sale of the trip happened when two boards went flying off the truck going about 60mph in snowy conditions. we're damn lucky no one behind us was decapitated or a 20 car pile up did not occur. so, yes, mr. avis, we'll take a credit on the tin can junk you call a ski rack...the loonie can handle it.
overall, banff was solid. great little town, plenty of food and drink options, and close enough to 3 decent hills. sunshine is the most popular. we had a great powder day there. lake louise is a little further drive, but worth it. and mt. norquay. close. small and lots of kids.
whistler versus banff. whistler wins for accomodations (we couldn't find any vacation houses or at least ones with hot tubs) banff is a bigger town and has better snow.
real.
not real.
