You'll get better snow in Banff than Obergurgl (generally speaking)

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

mobsta007, you can get a pass for Sunshine only and pay daily if you go to LL (or Mt Norquay). It might be cheaper to do that if you know you only want to go to LL for a certain (small) number of days. The shuttle bus isn't on the single area pass, not even to that area.
My info may be out of date, BTW, but it seems to be right from a look at a couple of obvious web sites.
PS I'd go for Banff if you can afford it.

mobsta007, who you going banff with?
If it's ski Independence it's worth checking with them for the pass (or with which operator you traveling with) as it's stated that it's cheaper that way than buying in resort.

You can buy the lift pass from Ski Independence even if you're not booked with them and I think they do good deals on them. Worth checking.
Oh, and of course, Banff!

mobsta007, you'll need a mainframe to work out the best lift pass permutation for your requirements. We ended up gettting a late season family pass, which we could have used for about 2 months, one year, but that's no use in Jan.

ive used snowcard.co.uk for the last 3 or 4 seasons. never had to claim (touch wood) but always found their service, costs and levels of insurance to be excellent. theyre one of the few companies i could find that will cover you for off piste without a guide. when i looked at the fine print in a lot of company details i found that 'off piste' literally meant that as soon as you strayed out side the piste markers you werent covered - so if you stacked it and needed assistance if you were just cutting between pistes youd be liable for all bills!

Have spoken to Ski independence now, a nice guy called Jon emailed me, they have an offer on at the moment which gives you 2 free days when you book more than 7 days, so for the 12 days that I want I am going to save about £60 each. Not too bad.
An update on my original question, I have now booked my trip to Banff, 16 nights, stayed at Brewsters Mountain lodge last time but need to make it cheaper this time so have opten for the Bow View Lodge, flights and accomodation for 16 nights total of £1375 for 2 people through expedia. Am going to get the tickets through Ski Indep, but this doesnt include transfers from Calgary, will be looking for the snow shuttle costs etc online and will book that seperately.
BANFF here we come , now I am just praying for SNOW GLORIOUS SNOW !!!!!
Do most people book a annual multi trip insurance or just the single trip insurance with ski???

i suppose it depends on whether you plan to go away agina this year. i think if youre doing more than one trip it'll be worth it. just ask how much annual cover is when you phone or go on line for your quote.
