Alexandra, I've often considered the stowaway idea, but being 6'3'' and 17 1/2 stone willing acomplices are hard to come by, so as usual I've had to pay for flights
Are you staying in Lake Louise?

Yes, 3rd time back to the Lake Louise Inn. I'd happily pop you in my ski bag... but the problem I then forsee is the drive to Frankfurt with you in the bag... you see I only have a VW Polo...

Just done 3 days in Jasper (marmot Basin).... it was in really pretty good shape. There are still hazards about the place but nothing serious. The lower slopes have plenty of snow and some of the upper black are absolutely sublime! Shall be in Lake Louise hill within a couple of hours!
Edit:
Just done a couple of hours on Lake Louise. It is a sunny saturday so that should perhaps be considered. There seems to be a reasonably good covering with the major slopes free of the minor hazards seen in Marmot. However, the surface is much less consistent with quite a few instances of soft snow sharply transitioning to rock hard stuff or ice. So at the moment, Marmot actually is a much easier place to ski!

Mountains of snow in Lake Louise/Sunshine now. The online snow reports dont tell the truth, having skied both the last couple of days, I am convinced the average coating is well over a foot and I can report much more in certain areas. Just make sure you have something a bit fat.... I didnt have enough float and spent most of the time leaning back just so I didnt come to a dead halt!

Been back from Banff a week now and I can tell you snow was fantastic. Canada's having unusual weather out there at the moment, it's generally warmer than it should be in most places. The Chinook winds are bringing warm air in so Calgary for example was warmer than the UK. Different resorts are having a mixed time. While I was there, reports filtered through that most of Fernie was closed for a couple of days because it had too much snow yet Nakiska had hardly any and Big White, I heard, was fog bound. Norquay was struggling through, but had received much less snow than its neighbours Sunshine and Louise, although one guy told me he'd spent a perfectly happy afternooon there. We spent most of the time at Sunshine where it has snowed almost everyday since Christmas and was superb (and looks pretty good today actually) but the cloud cover made the light very flat, particularly on Goat's Eye in the afternoon. High winds blew two Gondolas off so Sunshine shut on us. This forced us to Lake Louise where one day it was a white-out and the next day beautiful sunshine started to melt some of the snow! There was, however, superb powder in the back bowls for most of the morning and early afternoon. Kicking Horse lived up to its reputation with heaps of deep Champagne powder at the top, but the bottom of the mountain was a bit patchy. I can only speak first hand of Sunshine, Louise and Kicking Horse and if you go to any of those you'll have great time, enough snow to keep them going until May.

solarfish, I'll try very hard not be jealous of you! Do try to visit a couple of resorts other than LL if you haven't done so before. Kicking Horse was awesome and you can get the Powder Express to pick you up in Louise and take you there for a day. It's only about an hour from there and the fare including your lift ticket is only $5 more than buying a lift pass at KH.

Hi NEILSKI, the historical snow reports for beg of April for Tremblant, according to SCGB, are:
average 79-137 lower/upper slopes
2004/05 38-70
03/04 130-200
02/03 80-110
01/02 60-122
00/01 96-112
99/00 65-205
Looks like last year was a bit poor otherwise OK I'd have thought. I haven't personally been there to comment on what type of weather you might expect. It's normally pretty icy & can be bitterly cold out on the East coast, but by April temps should have improved.
