Hi everyone, i have'nt posted for a while but today thoughts turned to the old white stuff and started getting excited. Had three seperate one week holidays this season and now looking to go to Canada next so need lots of advice , which is probably allready on here if i look but i will ask anyway. Need help with best places to go, times to book.... for instance is it best to book early or take a cancellation , is it best to get a package or try to do it independantly etc etc etc all advice will be welcomed or any links to past posts. Andrew

Hi Andy! Ive been looking into planning our ski trip this season, and i was thinking about Canada also.
After doing a bit of research on the internet i decided BANFF was the best place to go! It has 200km of Piste.
The Tri Area Ski Pass covers Banff, Sunshine & Lake Louise but is very pricey at about £240.00 for a week! 
The cheapest time to go is probaly January. At the moment IGLUSKI are doing a 3 Star hotel & Flight for £504.00.
Chamonix is looking very tempting with over 700km of Piste. You can do a week there in a 2 star hotel for £300.00 by the time you've hired your skis and got a lift pass its about £500.00! I thought this was quite good!
Whistler is also a posibility ive heard it rocks! It has about 210km of Piste.
Check out IGLUSKI.com for info & prices on all the resorts you can shake a stick at. Ive never used them so i dont know if they are any good. But im guessing they are.

andybabes, Just booked 11 days in Whistler next January. We went last year and absolutely loved it and with the cost of the Canadian Dollar compared to the Euro, we just couldn't get the value in Europe for the Ski Holiday we wanted.
We are paying 1200 pounds pp for 10 nights in a 3 double bed Condo with private hot tub, lift pass, car hire, return flights, nanny and a night in Vancouver too. You can obviously get a lot cheaper but we have had to consider childcare too and this was the best option for the group.
The skiing is 100 times better than any resort in France (except Chamonix) and the resort has everything for everybody. Next year the Winter Olympics are being held there so this would be the last chance before it goes crazy. The Sea to Sky Highway (Vancouver to Whistler) must be one of the most spectacular transfers you can get in the world. They are opening the new Peak to Peak gondola this year, which is one of the largest in the world too.
I'm sure Banff is much the same and i've heard that Lake Louise is very scenic.
Wide open pistes, great ski bars, friendly lifties, quality mountain food, luxurious accommodation, great night life. Why not
