Cathy Coins,
Are you going out to Banff again this year? I wish I was, but Passo Tonale will have to suffice.

johnboy, we really can't decide. We're definitely going back to Canada somewhere....... We've been to Banff twice now (which we've never done for any other resort) and we're looking at combinations of Banff, Jasper, Sun Peaks, Whistler. Would like to combine Banff with Jasper but the thought of the 6 hour transfer between Calgary/Jasper is a bit off-putting. We're edging towards Sun Peaks at the moment, Frontier Ski go there and the hotel price includes your lift pass which makes it a bit cheaper. Just too many decisions to make

Dontcha just love the way tour operators use freak snow reports to sell holidays? !
I'd wager a generous bet that any snow which falls in mid September will have entirely vanished from the ski slopes within a couple of weeks.
Just as well that tour operators don't control snow guns or manufacture ...

... or do they?

You will think this is really sad, but, I've just took a look through my 2004 work diary and at the time I noted down some details for Lake Louise as I was heading there on 29/11/04
First Snowfall at base 1700m was on 18th September (Noted from Webcam)
1st November 2004
Bottom 20cm Base (-2)
Top 30cm Base (-10)

Aha - you can look now, a bit of snow on Jasper's knob (honest!) and it looks like Goats Eye's got a dusting.

Looking good. No snow in Passo Tonale yet, but starting to cool down. Generally 8 degrees at 2000m and hovering aroung freezing on the glacier.

The thing which amazes us is that Lake Louise is due to open in little over 3 weeks.... it has barely a dusting at mid mountain and zilch at the base..... having never really thought about it, I have to assume that either opening will have precious little snow or they will expect some serious heavenly dumps over the next few weeks..... which is it?

Louise usually gets a big dump early november and it seems to be getting colder this weekend. Seems little point having the cannons on today as it's supposed to reach 10c today.

And!!!!! I got this from Whistler Blackcomb
Blackcomb Mountain to OPEN early November 5 & 6!
Fantastic news, skiers and riders. Blackcomb Mountain will open this weekend November 5-6 with plans to open for daily operations starting November 11. Storms moving through the Whistler region have brought 60 cm/24 in of snow to the mountains at the Rendezvous Lodge elevation located at 1,860m/6,102ft, and the forecast is calling for even more snow through the week!

Well I hope not Cathy - surely we won't get 2 years in a row with great early season conditions and then a duff February.
