 Poster: A snowHead

@abc, please get your head out of your ass. We each have differing requirements and KH may not be suitable for more than a few days or so to some.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I can't fathom why "fernie, Kimberley, nakiska, kicking horse, and lake Louise" aren't enough for a few weeks. Even a season!

They are. I was simply answering the question. A pass covering all would be nice. However, I would agree that most peoples trips would be far better if they tried to visit less places and spent more time in each. Cheaper, less time driving, more familiarity with each resort (it takes a day or two to work out the lie of the land, another day or two to work out where the good stuff is).

Then you should stay in Europe. Europe is by far the better choice for piste skiers. In North America pistes are just used to access the good stuff and then get you back to the lift.

I agree with that 100%! Even if there's a pass that covers all the resorts, I would still focus on only 2-3 mountains at most. Sample the rest on the way to and from perhaps, but not driving all over the place just to say you've been there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sadly, there're actually quite a lot of Americans/Canadian who enjoy "cruising the reds". They're stuck with inferior options in the wrong side of the pond. Their best choice were Vail, Park City, Whistler. Many of them never know there're much better skiing, FOR THEM, on the far side of the pond.
I see from time to time in American ski forums of American asking what's the best tree/bumps in Europe. I cringe reading the answers. They're really better off staying home.

Is the iKon pass an option that helps?
The discount cards all have 1/4/7 day free and a discount off the standard day rate , can typically be purchased until Dec 31. Last year Sunshine had a black Friday offer and I think I paid 89. These cards also come with some other discounts. I would say the Hi hostel is a good option at lake louise.
The mid week passes also seem good value to me.
