Yeah, Banff was fantastic.  Some fresh snow almost every day, and had a mini-dump at Louise one morning -- about 8 inches in 45 minutes (12" in the back bowls).  Otherwise no epic huge snowfalls, but conditions were generally excellent.  A wonderful change from the miserable snow we've had here in Ontario this year.

The great thing about Banff, other than the stunning scenery, is that you can ski four mountains within 15 minutes to an hour's drive from the village -- Lake Louise, Sunshine, Norquay, and Nakiska.  Great variety of terrain, and if one of them is having bad weather, you just pick another and are guaranteed to have a fun day.  A wonderful place. indeed, and my favourite ski area by far (Utah being 2nd on the list).

Lynn -- too bad you didn't like these skis, but you seem to have found a great fit with the Progressors.  Still loving those?

Jim -- the puzzlement on her face when she opened the bag was considerable.  She found her gloves, hat and poles in there, but not the skis she was expecting.  "What the....?!" Too funny!
