I called them up only last week to see if I could buy a pass without a package deal, and the answer was NO.

I saw that one but didn't need to book the ski school as Inghams are doing a 2 for 1 on 3 day club ski working out at £90 each and I could just get the lift passes only via expedia. The Maths for me worked out cheaper that way. Good deal though. The voucher deals are early bird offers.

Hi, I know it's a few days late but I saw your post last weekend and it's almost entirely the reason we're now looking forward to our first ever trip to Canada. Without the discount on the lift pass I don't think we'd have been able to afford it so thanks a lot for the heads up!

When are you all going? It'll probably please you to hear it's snowing!.... Well, sort of snowing!
Arrived in Banff yesterday, first day of skiing today was good fun - no queues and some fairly decent snow. A little bit patchy in places, but overall can't complain given it's still early December. Have just been onto the balcony for a crafty fag and it's still snowing. It has been snowing all day actually, but only very lightly. Not much more than a few cm to be honest but it's better than nothing!
The forecast looks good for Colorado this week (if only snow-forecast can be trusted!!! I think I know the answer), so may head down there next...
Anyway, have fun everyone.

Thanks for that Far, that's what these forums are all about, welcome to snowheads by the way. Billy M, there is a group of 10 of us arriving 27th January for 10 days staying at the Inns of Banff, any tips would be welcome.

A 6 of 8 day pass is $80 dollars more expensive than a 5 of 7. I'd suggest taking the 5 of 7 and doing a day at Kicking Horse on the powder express (or whatever it is called) for $90, only $10 more expensive than 6 days at the 'local' hills.

Vegas Pitch, You'll have a great time I'm sure, it's a really nice place is Banff. If we're back here on those dates I'll let you know in case you fancy a beer or 2. We're staying just along the road from your hotel, and drove past it today - it looks nice and not too far off the end of the main street in town, I'd guess about a 10 minute brisk walk. Good news you have a hot tub - nothing better to warm you up after a day's skiing, it's seriously cold here!! Yesterday/last night's snow didn't amount to much - maybe 5cm in places, but quite wind blown today so it was good but not great.
So far we've only skied Sunshine Village for the last 2 days, and I'd echo what the others say about lift passes/visiting other areas. The pass prices don't seem to encourage you to buy lots of days as the difference between prices of bundles of days appears to be little different to the single day price, if you see what I mean (i.e. the price of a 6 day pass is similar to a 5 day pass plus a single day pass). Which certainly gives you options - buy less days than you need, then decide once they're used up if you want to ski elsewhere or buy more days where you are. Sunshine is really good fun, but not enormous so you may well want a few days in KH/Revelstoke. From what we hear they're both great so well worth a road trip - which is what we're doing, albeit for 4/5 months!!!
We were planning to do Norquay and also head to Lake Louise for the next few days (the other 2 areas you get on your Tri-pass I beieve), but the forecast seems to be hinting towards us going on a loooong drive south to Colorado. Lots forecast down there this week, virtually none here so we're off tomorrow I think.
Anyway, some sort of parade in town tonight apparently so a few beers are in order....
