Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I have just reached Calgary. Yes missed my conecting fight in Heathrow due to delays, sent to Toronto, missed connection to Calgary (yet more delays) and about an hour ago i was informed "THEY" had lost my ski bag with about £1600 worth of kit in it and i may njot get it back. They have however promised me $50 a day to rent-will check rates in Banff tomorrow morning, im up in 5 hours and this keyboard is annoying me, i'll be in touch.

Staying in the sandman airport hotel which is fantastic-free shuttle and everything-$160 for the night, King bed, Jacuzzi bath designed for abut 8 people and freeinternet!!

Rossfra8, were there any attractive ladies who also missed flights that were able to help you with that Jacuzzi... Shocked

$50 should be enough for some decent rentals. Hope your other kit turns up mind - will your insurance cover up to £1600? I had to upgrade my insurance to cover all of my kit as the basic only covered up to £500 worth of ski equipment. Sad

skisimon, no attractive ladies Sad however Canada is amazing for the ladies in general, great er, personalities! Been here about 2 hoursnow and not getting skiing till tomorrow, hire skis are Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuels? i think! but have to put up with rental boots, hopefully my skis etc should arrive tonight and I will be a happy boy. Picked up my season pass bought some Hestra gloves (10% discount which is pretty damn good!). First day skiing tomorrow withplenty snow forcast. Will try and get some pics and in turn get them uploaded so you can all be jelous. Having dinner at 6, pub at 8. Gonna try and get some ice skating done on the river at some point aswell.

Maybe my skis wont turn up and i'll get full refund and in turn dirty cheap canadian skis (despite poo-poo*ty dollar). Some extra spending money.

Ciao

Rossfra8, so now you have been here a whole week where is the update wink We had a fair bit of snow here in Canmore yesterday but apparently there was not so much at Banff and none at Sunshine Sad Anyway I should be on the slopes on Sunday I think, may try to get in to a boarding lesson, if not will be pottering around the slopes on my own as my son is in an all day lesson and wife and daughter are going out tomorrow instead. Forecast says snow tomorrow then three days of sunshine, so I might get some nice conditions on Sunday.

Perhaps when he sobers up he will find the right thread or at least one relating to the right continent wink

I shall keep my open for a drunken Scotsman on the slopes on Sunday, shouldn't be too difficult to spot rolling eyes
